Ready my love??

Jake

I adjusted the cufflinks on my shirt and checked my watch for what felt like the tenth time in the last five minutes. Laura had been in the bathroom getting ready for a while now, and while I'd normally be patient, tonight felt different. I wanted to see her. I wanted to see my wife, dressed to the nines, standing beside me as we experienced this magical night together. 

The sound of the bathroom door creaking open snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned around and froze. 

Laura stepped out, her dress hugging her body in all the right places, the deep sapphire blue fabric catching the light and making her glow like she was wrapped in the night sky. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders in soft waves, and her makeup, good God, her makeup, made her eyes pop in a way that left me momentarily speechless. 

She shifted nervously under my gaze, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Uh… Jake? You okay?"
