Fast Cars (Working Title)

Chapter 40

Lights twinkled in the trees above him as he stood next to the priest. Maisy stood in a beautiful white dress, her arm looped through her father's. They inched their way down the aisle as Don's heart climbed into his throat. Charlie stood next to him.

"Need me to hold you up?" he teased.

"Nah. I got this."

Charlie chuckled and stepped back.

Don's gaze floated over the family and friends that had gathered before he took in Maisy. He stepped forward to shake Kent's hand.

Kent leaned forward and whispered, "I should punch you first."

"You can punch me later."

"I look forward to it." He stepped back and joined his wife who was holding Landon.

Don took Maisy's hands in his and pressed a kiss against her cheek.

"What did he say?"

"Nothing much. He said he was happy for us."

"I doubt that."

Don winked. "Tell ya later." They turned to face the priest as he started the ceremony.

Maisy's smile was contagious as he slid a ring onto her finger. His lips met hers in a searing kiss. Don pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He smiled against her lips as cheers and whistles echoed through the yard.

"I love you, Maisy," he whispered.

"Mmmmm. Can we kick everyone out already?"

"We're not staying here tonight. They can stay as long as they want."

"Really?"

"Yeah."
