  Watching Mack salivate over Natalie as she walked up the aisle was a very specific kind of torment.

  Because even though I was supposed to be watching our friends publicly vow themselves, my eyes kept drifting back to Meg who, alongside Cara and Tessa, was standing with Natalie today.

  She looked… stunning.

  Natalie, always with the impeccable taste that I didn’t understand, but could fully appreciate, had draped all the girls in floor-length, light-green, figure-hugging-but-not-clinging dresses that revealed flesh without being suggestive.

  It was fucking torture.

  My body ached for her. Yearned in a way that burned—and not just with desire. Yearned for peace. Yearned for safety. Yearned for… togetherness.

  I swallowed hard and tried to turn my attention back to Natalie and Mack, but within seconds I was staring at Meg again.

  She was avoiding my eyes.
