Anne Wheeler x Phillip Carlyle

Chapter 8

Phillip POV.
My mother left the wedding a long time ago, so there is really none of my family here. But, the circus is my family and all the others like the nurses are my friends. So, my family and friends laugh and dance with us in the closed lobby of the hotel.
The star if everything though, is of course, Anne. Her toffee coloured skin glints in the warm sunlight and her smile, that smile that I live for, flashes happiness and sadness and everything she has worked for all in one emotion. Her beautiful hair is up and pinned back, her body is covered in white silk, and, god, she has never looked more stunning. I watch her now, standing in my suit in the corner, as she twirls around in the happiness that I want to give her us weds.
She spots me looking at her and she beckons me. I walk up to her and we begin to dance. As we dance, I look into her hazel eyes that hold everything that means something to me.
"I love you." I tell her simply, because their is nothing better to say in this moment, because that is how I feel and that is how I will always feel.
She grins at me and says, "I love you, Mr Carlyle," (@geek2901 , CARLYLE and not Efron lol 😂)
I grin back at her. I still can't believe she shares my last name now! It brings me to the realisation that we are each other's forever, and nothing will tear us apart.
We dance for a long time, and at the end, a carriage comes to collect Anne and I up, to bring us to our destination, which, by the way, is a total secret to Anne. I go to the people I need to talk to most, to say good bye for two weeks. Obviously, I go to my big brother, father, mentor, whatever you want to call it, boss; Barnum.
"Barnum. Thank you for all you've done for me." I tell him, pulling him on for a hug.
"Oh, Carlyle. It's a pleasure, and it always will be. You take care of yourself and Anne, while you're away. Have a lovely stay, old friend!" He says.
"Oh, Barnum," I begin, "You take care of the circus and your family- as you always have." We hug once more, and he is gone.
Next, there are his two little girls, Helen and Caroline. I hug them goodbye, and tell them to take care and have fun, and that I will get them presents from wherever Anne and I are going. This makes them squeal with excitement, ah those two lovely girls!
I also say bye to Charity, Lettie, Charles (Tom Thumb) and my friend William personally, before waving to everyone and getting in the carriage where Anne is already waiting for me.
The horse starts up and my family whoop as we leave; even W.D looks okay and not to much in a bad state, this makes me smile.
I look into Anne's eyes as we travel towards our boat ride. These are the eyes I want to look into forever.
