Elude [H.S.]

EPILOGUE I

Two and a Half Years Later

"Does the bow look crooked?" Harry asked Maeve as they walked down the hallway towards the large dining room where they were holding their rehearsal dinner - having already done a walk through of the ceremony for tomorrow in the outdoor portion of this venue.

"No, baby," Maeve shook her head as she reached over with her free hand, running it over the lapels of his cream colored suit jacket. "You look perfect."

"So do you," he leaned in, just gently grazing his mouth against hers knowing that she had just applied color to her plump lips. He didn't want to ruin it before they walked through those doors. "You ready to do this?"

She nodded, cupping his cheek as she rested her forehead against his. "With you? Always."

Harry's smile grew even further as he could hear the announcer getting ready to call their names as two people opened the large french doors that opened to the dining room.

"Future Mr. and Mrs. Styles!" They said into the microphone as the couple walked through the doorway.

Their hearts pounded in the best way against their chests as they looked around and saw all their friends and family that had traveled to be there with them today, and the wedding tomorrow as well. Harry felt Maeve give his hand a tight squeeze, and he quickly looked over to her.

"You doing okay, Maevey love?" He asked, tilting his head over to speak into her ear softly.

"I'm so happy, Harry," she said back before their eyes met. "This is everything I ever wanted, and I get to do it all with you."

Harry felt tears welling in his eyes before he grabbed Maeve's face in both of his hands, pressing his lips down firmly against hers this time. He didn't care about ruining her lipstick now, and he figured with the way she clutched to the lapels of his suit jacket, she didn't care either.

Everyone around them began to holler at the very open public display of affection, which only caused the couple's lips to curl up at the corners with their mouths still connected.

Once they pulled away, Maeve tilted her head back with a giggle as she clutched to Harry's biceps, and he snuck another kiss against the hinge of her jaw. They walked over to their own table that was set up. Harry pulled the seat out for his future wife, and once he sat down, he helped her clean up her lipstick while she also removed it from his face.

The couple was all smiles and laughter amongst everyone as they ate dinner, and once they were finished, they walked over to the table where Maeve's parents and Mason were sitting, along with some more of her family that had come in from Maine.

"Maeve, I haven't seen it in person yet! Let me see the ring!" Her cousin Riley perked up, and Maeve smiled as she extended her hand over the table to her.
