CHAPTER 49

Hey! With life happening and all, it took me a little while to really get this chapter together. It's a long one. I think maybe a little longer than usual so I hope you have the time to get through it. I personally loved this one so much, I'm actually pretty proud of it because it turned out great in my opinion. It's very Harry and Renleigh but it's very grown Harry and Renleigh. They are nothing like they ever were but somehow still the same. As I was writing this, I kept thinking back to the first book and how different everything was. I'm glad I decided to write this second book but I think it could've had a better run had I decided to start it with them already having children. I suppose it doesn't matter now but it's something that's been on my mind for a while. I'm glad we are here, even if it definitely took some time to get to this point, to this chapter. I don't want to start saying goodbye to the story now but it for sure feels like I am. Anyways! I shall save it for the next chapter or the potential epilogue. I still have to decide whether it'll be worth writing an epilogue.

For now, here's a little moodboard-kind-of-thing for this particular chapter! I couldn't exactly find what I was looking for but this is sort of close. You can also, obviously, imagine whatever feels right but I thought it would be nice to give a little base for you to build on further!

2 YEARS LATER: 2025

It had taken a very long time to get to where I was today.

Okay.

That may have sounded a little more serious and a little heavier than it did in my head. Not that it makes the matter any less true. In fact, I had to realise that it did indeed take me a very long time to make peace with the world and my life, my past and all that came with it. For the longest time, it was a one man job, up to only me to make it work but now that I had Harry by my side, somehow, it didn't seem so daunting.

Well, on better days, it didn't. 

When the world decided to slide me a shitty card and it was a ticket straight to hell, I still found it difficult to claw through the mud with help. There were plenty of those cards and plenty of those days but I was thankful for them because the more I received, the less likely it was to be handed one on my wedding day.

Yep. It is true. Renleigh Kensington is getting married. She's officially tying the knot. There's no escape plan or anything which definitely would've made young and reckless me panic to the point where I'd have given myself a panic attack. Then again, the lump in my throat and the cold sweat covering my skin was kind of a sign of me being on edge and I probably should've stopped biting the skin around my nails right about now before I somehow managed to chip my freshly done manicure.

Shocking, isn't it? Me being so fucking nervous about getting married. Perhaps if I was walking down the aisle to give my life away to a man I did not know, it would've made sense. But I was walking down the aisle to give my life away to a man I knew for seven years. Someone who knew me like the back of his hand. Someone who had given me two of the most beautiful children on this planet. Someone who loved me like no one had ever done before. Someone who was most likely just as nervous as I was and couldn't help but cry the night before as we stayed up for the longest time just talking about how insane this is all going to be.
