Page 182 of Daddy, Take Me Away
And the rain came down hard, just as it had that day, soaking our clothes. But this time, it only fell on the two of us. Yet somehow, when we finally broke the kiss and came up for air, there was a stunning rainbow high in the sky directly above us.
Our friends and family hollered and cheered and snapped pictures as we made our way down the short aisle. Savi, our self-appointed photographer, snapped a ton of pictures–thank goodness she’d gotten some prior to my gown getting soaked–and eventually our crowd made their way down the mountain to the covered picnic gazebos at the bottom, where a small reception had been set up and was waiting.
We ate, we drank, we danced, and all night, I only had eyes for Cas.
Finally, just as the sun started to dip behind the mountain, as I laid my head on his shoulder for our final slow dance, Cas leaned down and whispered in my ear.
“You ready to get on the road, babygirl? To start our life together?”
I looked up at him, my eyes wide, my face glowing with anticipation, and nodded emphatically.
I could relate. We were off to a ritzy hotel on the Las Vegas Strip for a birthday celebration do-over, followed by four days at Utopia as Daddy and babygirl.
I couldn’t wait. But there was one thing I had to get off my chest first. “Cas? Really?”
Cas threw back his head and laughed. “I told you you’d never guess what it was short for.”
“That’s because it's not short for anything!” I pouted.
Cas just smiled, his grin absolutely devilish. “Then I guess I win, baby girl.”
I just smiled and shook my head. “No, Daddy. I’m pretty sure we both won.”
The End
