Blindsided (36 page)

Yesterday Tanner and Emma had gone to the courthouse to change her last name to Wolfe. He’d suggested she hyphenate, but she refused. She was an old-fashioned girl with old-fashioned values. She wanted her prince’s last name as hers.

Tonight at karaoke, she looked beyond the lights to the smiling man sitting at a table near the stage flanked by friends and family. Regardless of the crowd at their table and around it, she sang only for him. When she got to the last chorus, he stood, walked on stage, and joined her, sharing the mic and singing with as much emotion as she while they gazed into each other’s eyes.

Emma was right where she belonged. Maybe she wasn’t on a big stage being adored by thousands, maybe her name didn’t mean much beyond her inner circle of friends, and maybe she would never win a Grammy.

And maybe, just maybe, she didn’t care because while grass on the other side of the fence might appear greener, it wasn’t. It was brown and dry and lifeless.

As they finished the song, Tanner gathered her in his arms, and kissed her deep and long. Until chants of “get a room” reached their ears, and they slowly pulled apart.

“I love you, Emmie.” Tanner’s deep green eyes held all the promise she needed.

“I love you, too, Tan.”

And their love was all that truly mattered.
