“Cause I know ain’t nobody in here crazy,” Aura said.
The officiant looked shook but proceeded anyway. After they were announced husband and wife, the church erupted with cheers. While the bridal party followed behind Danae and Aura, I made a beeline to my baby.
“Lemme see my girl,” I said to Adai.
“You know you supposed to follow behind them, right? You can’t just ditch the bridal party.” She shook her head.
“I stood up there long enough.” I kissed Ari’s forehead then Dai’s lips. “The only party that concerns me is this party of three.”
She snickered. “That’s why people say the stuff they say about you.”
“Never moved me before and don’t move me now. They know who I am.”
“You’re a mess.”
“This gon’ be us soon. You ready to officially be a Sullivan?”
She smiled. “I was ready when you asked me in my dreams four years ago.”
This was what building in a gray area looked like and a reminder to threaten that woman back to you if that was what it took. You only found your person once.
