The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 16

~AUTUMN~

The engagement party was here. It all still felt like a dream to me. I thought by now, I would wake up, and Atticus would tell me that he wasn’t going to marry me. So far, none of that had happened. I was still at home. I couldn’t find the strength to move my feet. I’d been standing in front of the mirror for more than an hour. My mother kept reminding me that we were late, but I could barely hear her through the pounding of my heart. I was getting engaged to the man I wanted since I knew what it meant to love someone. I was fourteen when I first saw him, and now I am nineteen and sincerely in love with him. Atticus Fawn had my heart without even trying. He had my heart because of the person I knew him to be. It wasn’t just his looks that caught my heart; that was just a given bonus.
