Chapter 60 Always Us

• For once, there were no flashing cameras, no boardroom battles, no shadows lurking in the periphery. Just the sound of violins drifting through the evening air and the gentle hum of laughter as friends and family gathered beneath a canopy of golden lights.
• Sandra stood before a tall mirror in her bridal suite, smoothing the delicate lace of her gown. She had imagined this day as a girl, though never quite like this never with a man like Steve Lancaster waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Her heart raced, not from nerves, but from the overwhelming realization: after everything, they had chosen each other. Again and again.
