Neither heard the crunch of gravel as Reid and Katri entered the garden. Reid cleared his throat to gain their attention before he urged Katri forward to join the couple.
“I see you found her,” he greeted them. He waved Nick back to his seat as the younger man started to rise. “No, don’t get up. Katri and I are only here for a moment.”
Tru knew her smile was blinding with the happiness she was feeling. Her parents drew closer together, a solid unit, and Tru’s heart clutched with love for them both. Holding each other’s hands, they returned her smile.
“I can only assume congratulations are in order,” Reid said. “It seems we will have a wonderful announcement to cap the party. This will certainly set tongues to wagging as word spreads. Nick, my boy, if I know my girls, you are going to be up to your ears in wedding preparations before too long.” He raised his brows at Nick before he continued in a warning tone, “There is going to be a wedding, right?”
“Yes, sir.” Nick replied without hesitation and grinned at Tru.
“Excellent. Now, before my wife dissolves into a puddle of joyous maternal tears, we will return to the party and leave you two alone. I expect we will make the announcement just before midnight, what do you think, my love?” He patted Katri’s hand.
“A wise decision, as always,” she replied, taking her eyes off her daughter long enough to smile at her husband.
Reid cleared the tightness from his throat and turned to lead Katri back to the party. “I expect you two to make an appearance long before we reach midnight.”
“Of course. Wouldn’t miss it,” Nick replied, but his gaze locked on Tru. He reached out and caught one of her curls between his fingers.
“See that you don’t,” Reid warned before he and Katri disappeared around a corner.
Nick had a look in his eyes she recognized and all her thoughts centered on getting him alone.
His voice tender, he said, “I love you, you know. Have I mentioned it yet? I love you.”
“I love you, too,” she whispered against his mouth in his native language. “I love you, now and always.”
He repeated her words, first in Tonlithian then using the language of her world.
About Kylie Wolfe
Kylie Wolfe has had a love affair with outer space since she saw the first episode of Star Trek as a kid. It is no surprise that planet hopping and space travel became the landscape for her debut novel.
She is owned by two cats, well fed and cuddly, and as of this printing, she has painted nearly every room in the house some shade of green. She jokes, "Clearly, I am not opposed to living in a leaf."
Secret vice - she feels compelled to sing "On the Road Again" whenever she hits the highway for any road trip that even remotely sounds like fun.
With loving family and good friends to support her, Kylie is ready to see where writing can take her. She invites you to join her in traveling the stars in search of intrigue, adventure, and love.
