Beauty & the Beast (32 page)

“Not happening.”

He sighed. “Didn’t think so.”

* * *

Dr. Vincent Keller moved in a slow circle with his wife in his arms. JT and Tess were feeding each other chocolate-covered macadamia nuts and laughing. Heather was trying to teach Svetlana the hula. And he was falling more deeply in love with Catherine second by miraculous second.

I was so alone. I was at sea. Until she came. Then she brought me back to life.

We have gone through so much to be together, but she put it all on the line first to be with me. When I said no, she stood in the light. When I gave up, she said “forever.”

Wildfire…

Catherine has walked through fire for me. She’s stared death in the face. She has saved my life, and my heart.

She is the other half of my soul.

My destiny is to love her, and not just in this life. For all eternity. I know that. It will take that long to give her everything I have to give her, to love her as she deserves to be loved.

Catherine raised her head from his chest. Her velvety eyes glistened. Her face was wreathed with a smile.

“We’re always better together,” she murmured.

And he replied, “Always.”

From the moment we met, we knew our lives would never be the same.

Vincent and Catherine danced on.

They danced on.
