"I'm sure that Liam has told you not to worry about the cost of anything for the wedding," she said. "And ...and I can guarantee that...that they haven't probably offered to help pay for anything. As your sister, you're going to let me pay for the wedding and I won't take no for an answer."

Katia's eyes widen "Kaia, that's too much. Are you sure? I can't ask you to do that."

"You're not asking, I'm telling." Kaia couldn't help but smirk. "The brides family is supposed to pay for the wedding. Not the grooms," she said. "And it's not too much. Believe me, I have more money than I ever thought I would have in my lifetime," she said. "Please, Katia. Let me."

"Okay, if you say so," Katia said still stunned by her sister's offer.  She wondered how Liam was going to react.  "Are you really sure?" She asked again.

"Yes, I'm more than 1000% sure."

"I think I'm going to like having a sister," she smiled.

"I do say so," she said smiling. "And I'm not offering this to buy your love," she said. "I want to help erase every shitty thing you've been through and help make your dreams come true."

Katia Leaned over and hugged her sister once more for good measure.  "What's next?"

"Is there anything else you want to ask me or know about my life? My life with Zayn?" She asked. "I'm open to pretty much anything."

"Hmmmm....." Katia thought about it for a moment.  "How and when did you know that Zayn was the one?"

Kaia sat back in her seat and couldn't stop the smile that formed as she looked at her wedding rings again. "I think I've always known to be honest," she said. "Even before I met him I was in love with him." She looked at Katia. "I never thought I would ever meet him. I was prepared to live my life in a fantasy. The day we met I was a hot mess. I fell into a backdrop, I knocked over lights," she said with a laugh. "Being in his presence that day truly cemented how I felt about him," she said. "And when we went to Montana a month later, he gave me a journal," she said. "The first of many, and...and the words he wrote in it," she said still smiling. "I knew. But I wasn't sure how he felt until the end of that trip."

"Sounds romantic," Katia beamed.

"It was," she said. "Every day we were in Montana we took turns writing to each other. Our hopes, our fears, our dreams. I think I told him every day I loved him. That I was in love with him," she said. "On our last night we went to some little supper club restaurant and it was nothing but middle-aged and old people," she said laughing. "Needless to say it was quiet." She look d at Katia again. "You sure you want to hear all this?"

"Yes, I like hearing your stories," she smiled. "Marian has told me a few of them as well."

She shook her head but still smiled. "So Harry went up to the band that playing and somehow was able to talk them into playing and him singing along," she said. "Zayn stood up and held out his hand to me and asked me to dance."

"Magic!" She beamed. "Then bam your pregnant?"

She shook her head with a giggle. "No, when..when we were dancing, he told me he was in love with me." She opened her phone back up and went to the album that held the pictures Marian had taken that night and showed her sister.

"Nice pictures, you look lovely and totally in love," Katia said.  "I can see Harry in the background of your pictures. Who is he looking at?" 

"Marian," she said. "It was the four of us," she said. "She was the one who took those."

"Oh," Katia said biting her lip. "I see."

Kaia arched her eyebrow. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing," she shook her head. "It's nothing. My own silliness."
