Serenity had decided to spend the six days leading up to her wedding at her parents‘ house. She felt like she needed it—she knew they would be leaving after the wedding, so without hesitation, she had spoken to Alden about it.

Her now–husband understood completely. And although Marcus still intimidated him a little, Alden promised to visit her every day.

Two days before the wedding, however, Marcus called him and asked him not to come that day. He wanted to spend the day alone with Serenity–just father and daughter. Alden understood and agreed.

The atmosphere in their home felt completely different from just a year ago. The once–elegant and somewhat quiet house was now full of life–from the cries of the twins to the shouts of John and Ethan, who never left each other’s side while playing, to the loud laughter of Valerie and her group of friends. And, of course, there were Camille’s constant scoldings. Marcus couldn’t have been more satisfied.
