Sometimes Isadora caught the two of them sharing a look, which ended in a laugh, as if their happiness was all too surreal to believe. Isadora had moments like that too—when she looked at Parker, unable to believe her happiness was real.
They had been married in the summer, a small, private ceremony on the coast. Her father and Tibet had flown in, but didn’t linger. Christos danced with her and told her she’d done well for herself. That he was proud of her. But his praise didn’t affect her the way she imagined it would. Funny, how when a person goes without something long enough, the significance tends to fade.
Life had taught her that nothing was impossible. Every day, Parker took her breath away then breathed it back into her soul at night. He showed her a love she could depend on, above all else, a love that was real and only grew with time.
He told her he loved her each and every day, never letting her wonder otherwise. But she never doubted his affection. She knew, not just from his words, but his actions.
Their love was a tangible presence in their life, what made their house a home. It was a gentle surrender that led where they had no choice but to follow.
Passionately, fiercely, easily, he cherished every piece of her, even the tarnished parts others had left behind. Their love was so powerful, so epic, all that came before seemed like a child’s sketch next to a Monet. Just as someone special once promised love should be.
Sawyer had loved her, admitted or not, a real love now guarded close to her heart. But he could never own her heart because it was meant for someone else.
Parker fearlessly loved her with the truest kind of love. Her heart might wear scars, but he adored every tender inch of her being, accepting her completely, just as she loved and accepted all of him. It was … everything love was meant to be.
