A Haunted Twist of Fate (33 page)

“Could it be?” she said aloud.

When it stopped chirping, the bird stared at her a
few seconds, and then it spread its wings and flew off.  Her hand went to her
throat, and she smiled. The bluebird had first come to her in a time of
confusion and pain, to teach her how to achieve internal peace; something she’d
never have trouble with again.

As Shay stood at the window, she believed the
bluebird had been a gift from Denise. Besides Denise’s blessing, she also felt
that both her moms had been working some miracles of their own from heaven.  She
strolled down the hallway to the bedroom, completely at peace for the first
time in years.

Lit candles shimmered on each of the side tables to
cast a golden glow throughout the room. Soft music played from somewhere in the
distance.

“It’s not Paris or Rome,” Colt said as he met her at
the bedroom door, “but I promise this will be the best wedding night of your
life. Let me help you out of your dress, Mrs. Morgan.” He skimmed his hands
over her hips and up her back. He kissed her while undoing the dress buttons.
The gown slipped past her shoulders, and she shimmied out of it and let it
slide to the floor.

Sweeping her into his arms, he carried her over the
threshold to the bed and laid her down. “Let’s make a baby tonight,” he
breathed.

Shay gazed into his beautiful eyes.

When they kissed, something deep inside hinted that
together, they’d be able to accomplish anything.
