“You look . . .” Cody took a moment, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed several times, “amazing,” he finally managed out. “I can’t believe how lucky I am to be making you my wife.”
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the celebrant began.
Wal leaned in and pecked her cheek before Grace stepped forward to help him to his seat. She listened to the celebrant speak, lost in Cody’s eyes. She felt the vows she uttered and meant every word.
“I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride,” he finally announced.
Cheers and wolf-whistles filled the air as Cody swept her off her feet, exposing the cowboy boots she wore beneath her gown. With a rumble from above, fat drops of rain began to fall, hitting the dry ground, and the first lines of “A Cowboy’s Girl” sounded as The Brays’ signature riff rang out across Carrillo Estate.
A ball of white fluff ran through the crowd, a small navy bow matching Grace’s dress tied at the top of her head. Austin scooped Yolanda into his arms before hugging his mother tight. Reaching for Grace, she hugged both her children to her side. They were all finally home.
THE END
Acknowledgments
To my special people, who helped with reading this baby while still in draft form, thank you Bec and Mal for your input, insight and laughing at my mistakes.
A big shout out to my amazing editor who is slowly getting her Aussie education. I love your dedication, thank you Leticia. You always come through for me, no matter how tight a deadline I give you.
And finally, thank you to everyone one of you who have just read Carrillo’s cowboy. I hope you loved reading it as much as I loved writing it. Some stories are just so easy to write, this was one of them. I wish you all a happy-ever-after.
