I open my eyes to see pitch black. Once my eyes adjust, I sit up. Turning to see Grace. Nothing but beauty is what I see. Quietly, I grab my journal from my desk. I look out to the sunrise. No matter how long I've lived the sunrise stills manages to surprise me. The sun rises just above the horizon. "You're up early." I turn to see Grace standing in the door way. "I didn't want to miss the sunrise. It is gorgeous. The way the orange mixes with the blue. Nothing but beauty." I say, looking over the horizon. I feel her warm hand on my bear back. "Imagine the view once we move to the beach house," Grace informs me. I fiddle with my necklace. "What is the story behind that ring? You never told me." Fuck. I didn't think she would ask me about it. DON'T LIE TO HER. I think to myself. I take a deep breathe. "My best friend gave it to me a long time ago back. He died shortly after he gave it to me. Lee Evans was his name." That was all honest. "We have 8 hours until we get married. I have to go get my dress and makeup from Penelope." Penelope is her best friend.

It suits you, Caspian." John places his right hand on my left shoulder. "Shall we head to beach pavilion, Mr. James?" he offers. "Yes, we shall." I follow John out of the main room and to the front door. A dark drown carriage waits for us. "Today you become a part of our family Caspian. Treat my daughter like no other, love and respect her." We clasp hands. "I will do my damnest and try my hardest to give her the life she wants and deserves," I say with a grin and cock an eyebrow. "That is all I ask. Thank you." I nod. We arrive at the pavilion, the sun is still rising and guests are arriving. I think to myself. Here we go...
