Baby Stetson (Love and Music in Texas #1) (39 page)

He was so hopeful. Avery knew then and there that they would be okay.

“We’ve gotten this far,” Avery said softly, touching his face. “We’ll find a way. We’ll always find a way.”

“I’m so glad you feel that way. I do have one request for you though, Avery.” Lucas cupped her cheeks, holding her face close to his.

Her heart thumped faster and louder in her chest. “What’s that?”

Lucas pulled something else out of his pocket. A crumpled piece of paper. “I’ve never had a song written about me. I request that you finish this one and sing it at our wedding.” A smile played at his lips. Avery took the paper from him and unfolded it, reading the words.

The lyrics she’d started writing at the beach stared back up at her. He’d found this and kept it? It meant that much to him?

“Please?”

Avery tipped her head back and laughed as Lucas twirled her around the dance floor. She held onto that paper and to her future husband like they were her lifeline.

“Anything for you, Lucas. And I’ll write plenty more as we live our lives together. I love you so much!” For the rest of the night, Avery couldn’t keep her eyes off the man that meant so much to her, and couldn’t wait for the day she would become Avery ‘Baby Stetson’ Bennett.
