‘Nikos,’ she breathed, tears of pure joy blurring his beloved image just for a moment.
It was impossible for him to have heard the sound of his name on her lips, but all the same in that instant something made Nikos turn and glance towards the back of the chapel. And the transformation that came over his face when he saw her standing there made her heart soar, her feet feel as if they were not touching the floor but floating inches above the worn stone flags.
‘Sadie…’
She saw his lips move on her name, saw the smile that made his stunning eyes burn like bronze fire.
‘Sadie—kardia mou—my love, my heart…’
When he held out both his hands to her, opening his arms wide to welcome her home, she didn’t hesitate but practically flew the short distance down the aisle towards her future with the man she loved.
