Maybe Next Time Read online

  And right in front of me now, my husband, with such love and happiness in his eyes that I couldn’t wait to recommit myself to him. Yes, we’d married already, and for some… this was pointless, not that big of a deal. But for us… it represented the new depths we intended to explore with each other because we were in this thing. I couldn’t say that we’d never have another moment of reckoning because maybe we would.

  This time, it had almost broken us.

  Maybe next time, it wouldn’t even scratch the surface.

  Dani reached the crescendo of the song, and Denver reached for my hand.

  I gave it immediately, lacing my fingers through his as I met his glossy gaze.

  “Emotional ass,” I mouthed at him, making him break into a grin.

  I was one to talk, because no sooner than I did that, tears started leaking down my face.

  Denver squeezed my hand as the song ended, and we turned toward Connie, who smiled at me, then him.

  “You kids ready?” she asked, and Denver looked at me, then nodded.

  “We’ve never been more ready for anything.”
