“Gods, I want that more than anything.” She leaned back into a dip.

“Well, why not? We’re done with the part of the ceremony they needed us for. Why don’t we make our way upstairs?”

Addison thought. “You don’t think that the family would be disappointed? I wouldn’t want anyone to think we’re rude.”

“I think they know we’ve earned a little break, too,” he whispered. “We stopped a plan to overthrow the whole kingdom. Surely, they can figure out a buffet line without us.”

“You’re right,” Addison said, giggling. “Let’s get out of here.”

Tyler grabbed her hand and led her toward the door, trying to look as busy as possible. Unfortunately, they had only made it about halfway there when Lexi and Xander ambushed them to congratulate them on finally figuring themselves out.

After a brief but happy conversation, the two had almost got to the door when Taryn called them over, and she and Declan held their attention for another few minutes.

Finally, they made it out and quickly headed up the stairs and into their room. It was only when the door was finally closed behind them that Addison breathed out. They had made it. No one would be wishing them well now.

“Well, then,” said Tyler, laying his hands on her back and then letting them slip down her body. “Now that we’re finally on our own, what would you like to do?”

Addison wrapped her arms tightly around Tyler’s waist. “There are a few things I could think of …”

“Making a life with you is going to be fun,” Tyler said, guiding her toward the bed.

“I can’t wait,” she replied and kissed him with all the love her heart would forever hold.
