My Cheeks Heated Up

And my cheeks heated up more than it felt like they could burn anything down.

I smiled and he offered me his arm. I hesitantly placed my fingers through his arm, feeling too timid.

"They are waiting for you in the dining room," he said.

"Your family?" I asked even though I knew the answer myself.

"Yes. They are looking forward to meeting you."

"Are you sure I look okay?"

"Just relax. You look amazing," he said making my heart beat faster.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Cassie. They will love you."

"I hope so. So it is true that you're marrying me?"

"You have asked me this a lot. My answer is always going to be the same, Cassie. Yes, I'm going to marry you," he replied and I kept my gaze forwards as we reached the stairwell. 

Everything was perfect here, but his words.... they were_ everything to make things perfect.
