The pastor then introduced them. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Quinn and Hanna Kurtz."

The band played the recessional, and Hanna and Quinn, with smiles wide on their faces, walked down the aisle. They looked like they were floating. They smiled at their friends and family as they passed. It was nice to see them so happy.

Jace stopped next to Margo as he followed Hanna and Quinn down the aisle. He looked deeply into her eyes and grinned. He held his arm out to her, and she eagerly took it.

She floated down the aisle with alongside him, eager to be by his side and touching him all the while. When they got to the back of the chairs, they were the first to greet Hanna and Quinn.

Margo hugged Hanna. "Congratulations, Hanna. You are a beautiful bride. You're always beautiful, but as a bride, you're more beautiful."

"Oh, Margo, thank you so much for everything that you've helped with. We appreciate it."

Margo chuckled and squeezed her once more. She then stepped up to Quinn and hugged him.

"Congratulations, Quinn. I hope you'll both be very happy."

"Thank you, Margo. We sure do appreciate it."

He squeezed her and then let her go. She turned to see Jace watching her, a sexy smile on his face. He held out his hand, and she eagerly took it. They sauntered slightly away, between the chairs and the buffet area.

"You look beautiful, Margo. I couldn't stop staring at you."

She chuckled. "I kind of felt the same way. I wanted to watch the wedding. I truly did. But I couldn't stop looking at you. You're very handsome."

He chuckled. "Well, thank you. I'm lucky to have you with me."

The band started to play slow, soft music, as the guests congratulated the bride and groom.

Jace pulled Margo close and swayed to the music. She eagerly swayed with him. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she looked up into his eyes. "I enjoy dancing with you. I've never really been much of a dancer, but you're a great dancer and you make me feel like I want to do better."

He chuckled. "I've always liked dancing, but I only like it when I have a great partner. I enjoy dancing with you, Margo."

Her heartbeat skipped. Butterflies fluttered around in her belly. She was falling like crazy for this man. Was that nuts after what she'd just been through? What was she thinking getting involved so quickly after all that happened recently? But then again, even she recognized that she hadn't really been in a relationship for a long time. It was a stagnated half-relationship at best. Her gut told her Jace would never cheat on her. Jace was not Logan and she was grateful for that. She was also willing to let go of the things that made her angry with Logan.

She was so sure this was the relationship she'd always longed for. This is how she wanted to be treated. With grace and love from a man who looked at her with love in his eyes. She couldn't get that if she closed herself off from love ever again. She didn't want to do that. And she loved Jace. It was too late to pull anything back; she'd already let her heart love. Probably because he was easy to love.

She watched Quinn and Hanna get married, and all she could think about was how lovely it was when two people truly wanted to be together. To be in love and to have your one true friend, who you enjoyed spending every day with. Talking to at the end of the day and first thing in the morning. Spending time with, in her case, maybe building a business. Dinner with friends, events with family, everything. Spending time with them. That's what she'd always wanted. And when she looked at it now, she didn't really ever have that with Logan.

She was dumb to think what she had with Logan was a marriage. It wasn't a marriage at all. At first, they enjoyed traveling together, but then he enjoyed traveling with someone else.

The music stopped, but Jace didn't let her go. They continued to sway back and forth slowly in the sand. Her heart felt full and happy, and...at peace.

Finally, Jace lifted his head and looked into her eyes. "That was really nice."

She smiled. "It was. I'd like several more of those this evening, please."

His smile was beautiful. "You got it. How about we start each day with a dance and end it that way, too?"

Her heart swelled, and her body tingled. "I'd like that more than I can ever express."

He chuckled, wrapped his arms around her again, and spun her slowly around. When he let her go, he winked at her. That was sexy.

Then he grinned. "How are we going to do that, Margo?"

She swallowed, but stared deeply into his eyes. "I'm moving in with you, Jace. That's how we'll do that."

The smile that he bestowed on her was magnetic. It was without a doubt the sexiest smile she'd ever seen on any human in the history of the world.

"I like that more than I can ever express."
