I added, “I think she knows neither one of us are going anywhere and she knows this is her home permanently.”

“You know I’m going to have to get her a pony for her birthday, right?” Damon grinned.

I laughed. “I know. But we don’t have stables here so you will have to find somewhere to house the horse, and we have to get her riding lessons.”

“I’m sure that won’t be difficult to find around here.”

I stood. “I’m going to go shower and get dressed for the day.”

“Okay. I’ll take care of a few things in my office while you do that.”

“What do you think of the red velvet flavor and the vanilla pudding in the middle?” the baker asked as we did the cake tasting for our wedding.

“I like it. You?” I asked Damon.

“It is good. What else do we have?”

One thing I learned was that Damon had a major sweet tooth. And it took me this long to figure it out.

“The next one is a sugar and spice.” The baker presented two small portions for us to eat.

“I’m not a fan,” I told her.

“Here is a lemon cake and butter cream and blueberry compote.”

Damon was nodding his head. “That is an outstanding flavor.”

“I have to agree. Maybe we can do the lemon cake for the wedding cake and then red velvet cupcakes,” I suggested.

“Yes. I do like that idea,” Damon replied.

“Perfect. Let me get the information down so it can be ready on the date of your wedding.”

After our appointment we thanked the baker for her time.

“Well, I’m glad that is out of the way,” I told Damon as we loaded back into the SUV. “We have another stop to make.”

And off to the dress shop we went. I had to do another fitting just to make sure no other alterations needed done.

With the dress on, I admired it in the dressing room mirror. It was so beautiful and unique and it fit me exactly how I wanted.

“Are you gonna let me see it?” Damon called through the dressing room door.

“Hell no. It’s bad luck.”

He chuckled.

I wanted to wow him on our wedding day.

“Happy Birthday!” Damon and I shouted as we woke Rose on her special day.

She didn’t have a lot of friends but we decided to get her the pony she was begging us for. Damon picked out one with a professional since she was new to riding and we knew nothing about horses.
