It was the late evening. The sun had just set over the horizon, casting the sky in a dark navy hue. The moon would be in the center of the sky soon. Signaling the start of what was coming.

I was currently in Jackie's house. Getting dressed and readied up by her and her daughter Stella. I was wearing a F/C dress that fit my figure like a dream.

My heart was soaring with joy as they fitted it on me. I would have been fine wearing a regular and simple dress but Jackie would have none of it. I don't even know where she got this or how. All I could do was say thank you and hug her.

She gave me a loving smile as she pet a hand down my head. The smile which a mother gave to her child. I may not have been her blood child, but she treated me as if I were.

" We're almost done Y/N. All of them out there are going to be starstruck." She flattered. Giving me a loving kiss on the forhead before moving towards my back again to tie the last few strings.

Stella also smiled at me as she put some, but not too much Makeup on me. Her movements were soft and quick as she worked, and just like her mother, she refused to have me be anything less than perfect for tonight.

" You must be so excited Y/N." She said and I smiled, not being able to talk since I had to sit really still. My eyes drifted to the window, looking at how dark the sky was getting.

The Blue had vanished and the black inky color had replaced it. Outside I could see all of the sunflowers in the field illuminated by the light of the moon. So bright that everything underneath it was casting a shadow.

Every second that ticked by made my heart pound harder in my chest. Only a few more minutes too go, then it would be time.

" Alright sweet cakes, what do you think?" Jackie asked, helping me stand up and giving me a slow little twirl before facing me towards the mirror.

My breath was caught in my throat. I looked perfect, more than I could have asked for. It was all thanks to these two who would not let me down.

I whirled around and brought them both into my arms, hugging them tightly. Letting them know just how thankful I was through my actions rather than my words.

They both hugged me back for a long minute. Jackie holding both me and Stella in her arms and slightly rocking us back and forth. We only let go when a light and polite knocking at the door interrupted us.

" Y/N Honey, It's time. Are you ready?" The soft and fatherly voice I had grown so much to love asked. I smiled with tears in my eyes over at Willy.

He was dressed in a grey suit with a white undercoat and tie. Black pants and shining shoes to accompany it and his long dark hair was slicked back into a ponytail. His Icy blue eyes stared at me and he looked so proud.

I took a long and deep breath, smiling at him and nodding. Not being able to speak. I was afraid that if I did I would break down crying. Not from sadness or fear, but absolute joy.

Jackie and Stella excused themselves, saying that they would see us in a moment. They passed Willy as he walked forward. Taking my face lightly in his hands and looking at me with shimmering eyes.

" I have never in my entire life seen a more ethereal young lady. He is the luckiest groom on the entire planet." He said softly, giving me a kiss above my left brow.

I leaned forward into his chest, hugging him ever so softly and I felt his hands on my back and his chin against my temple. We were only there for a second before I had my arm locked in his as he led me out of Jackie's house. Out into the back yard and toward the hills beyond.
