Chapter 85

By the time I'd left South Carolina to head back to the Outer Banks, Hayden and I had made a huge dent in the wedding planning. I'd made the executive decision to move the ceremony to Greenville so Hayden wouldn't have to fly so close to her due date and to enable as many of our friends and family to attend as possible. It could be difficult to find accommodations in the summer in the Outer Banks, but it wouldn't be an issue in South Carolina. There was also an international airport that our out-of-town guests could fly into, while travel anywhere near the islands in North Carolina was sketchy at best. I could only hope Liam agreed with my rationale.

When I walked in the door, I was greeted by chubby cheeks and little toddler arms. The squeal of my name brought a smile to my face like no other. Steps behind my almost two-year-old came the man who could bring me to my knees.

Liam Hill.
