Massimo's voice fades into the background as Gabe kisses me again, sealing the vow in a way no ceremony ever could. This is us. Broken. Beautiful. Unstoppable. For the first time in years, I'm not afraid of the fire. I'm ready to burn with him.
The rest of the ceremony passes in a beautiful blur. We exchange rings. We sayI doagain, this time in front of the people who matter.
Later, after the toasts and the cake and the twins demanding cuddles from anyone who will hold them, Gabe pulls me aside on the terrace overlooking the glowing city. He wraps his arms around me from behind, his chin resting on my shoulder.
"Mrs. D'Amato," he murmurs against my ear, voice low and warm. "How does it feel?"
I lean back into him, smiling as the desert wind lifts my veil. "It feels like I'm finally where I've always been supposed to be."
He presses a kiss to the side of my neck, right over the faint scar from that terrible night a year ago.
"Good," he says softly. "Because you are where you belong. You, me, Daryus, Nina… this is it. The rest of the world can burn. We'll build whatever we want on the ashes."
I turn in his arms and kiss him, full of every ounce of love I've found since that ridiculous purse party changed everything. This is my life now. Chaotic. Dangerous. Beautiful.
And I wouldn't trade a single second of it.
