The breeze gives a soft blow to our skin that somehow enlightens the discreet fear behind celebratory smiles.We chose a garden wedding located at one of Evans' vacation villas with only a few VVIP guests attending. But the media will make it possible for a live audience in their cozy homes.I wore the wedding gown that I chose on that day when I and Xander shopped clothes. I keep on heaving deep sighs as I study the lonely figure staring back at me in this huge mirror. I can tell I was beautified. My skin gleaming and my eyes radiate innocence. I look like a princess on the outside but I can't avoid seeing myself from within—the Gabbie that's far from being a fairy tale character.I was jarred from my reverie when someone sat on my side.

3rd Person.3 DAYS LATER"Oh, you're back! That's too soon," Jameson greeted the man sitting on his chair already after just three days of honeymoon. He even arrived at the company before the employees and Jameson."Do you expect me to have a whole week leave?""Yes! It should be more than just a week. What happened? Is the honeymoon boring?" and he gave a teasing laugh to Xander who immediately shook his head."Nah, I actually had a blast," he corrected and that made the story-digger widen his eyes."Ohh you must have the steamiest nights of your life. How far did you go?" He sounded so malicious."Very high," a smile lets out from his mouth unconsciously. "We had camped.""Wait, what?" Jameson was totally enjoying the kink when he realized that the last sentence was told too serious to be a joke. "Camping, you say?"Xander nodded."You're a saint, Xander. Should I praise you now?
