Not only did she have the love of the only man she’d ever wanted, but her life was so full of friends and family that she could hardly fathom it.
On the dance floor, Emma and Vaughan were swayinggracefully together, and Kate and Theodore were completely absorbed in each other.
Amelia and Andrew were chatting with Lady Drake and Colonel Moore near the musicians, and Lady Blackwell was sipping champagne with Lady Carlisle in the corner.
It was perfect.
She caught Nicholas’s gaze and smiled. “I love you.”
He spun her, but as she returned to his embrace, he dipped his head and kissed her. Right there, in the ballroom, where anyone could see.
His eyes twinkled as he raised his head and kept his hand on her lower back to support her. “I love you, too, my firebrand. Forever.”
