***
It was now three days before the biggest day of my life. We’d had our rehearsal just a few hours ago, and now we were on our way to the rehearsal dinner. Though the ride was short, we still didn’t say much to each other. Boy I’ve never seen him this tense; not even for his medical exams. I decided to let it go whenever he would get tense like this, especially after that first time he asked me to talk about something else.
I figured that he needed time to deal with this on his own. As we arrived at our destination, Ethan opened the car door for me and held my hand in his as we made it through the doors of my Uncle’s restaurant. It was a small place, but it was decorated beautifully. He’d reserved the place entirely for us, and as we sat down at our designated table, our family began to come in.
I looked to my right at Ethan; I couldn’t quite describe the look on his face. I could describe how much I didn’t like it though. It made me feel uneasy. I reached over to squeeze his leg; he didn’t look over at me, though he did smile.
I smiled as well, and even though I wanted more, I decided to let the evening happen. As my family began to fill their seats, and the champagne was poured, I relaxed after a small flute. The champagne was very sweet; just the way I loved it. The vibe overall was great, and the toasts that were made brought tears to my eyes.
I looked over at Ethan; my eyes were brimming with tears to see that he was already looking at me. He was smiling, warmly for the first time in days. I could see and feel the love in his eyes as he stared straight through mine and into my soul. I knew he could see his mate in me. Our emotions were mirrored so perfectly, it was like a fairytale.
