My best friend from high school, the one I hadn’t seen in twelve years, turned toward me. “We’re going back to the courthouse and getting married.”

I followed him numbly.

Zeke stopped us next to a faded blue truck that had seen better days parked outside the courthouse. Was I really going to do this? Marry my old best friend just to inherit some money?

My birthday was in four days. There was no way I’d find anyone else who would marry me. I needed that cash to start a new life.

“A bride should have flowers on her wedding day. Something your douchebag fiancé should have thought about.”

Zeke stepped back on the curb holding a simple bouquet of wildflowers tied with a white ribbon, much like the flowers down by our spot. He handed them to me while I clutched them to my chest and wondered why my ribs ached from this simple gesture.

When was the last time a man had given me flowers?

His hand warmed my lower back again as he ushered us up the steps of the courthouse. I dug my heels in, my hand gripping his bicep as I tugged him to a stop. He looked back at me, a questioning look on his handsome face.

“Why are you doing this?”

Zeke looked away, scanning the street. “I watched you, Rain. All four years I knew you, I watched you. I observed how you lit up when people paid you attention. I saw how much you needed that attention and I figured it was because your father never gave it to you. You wouldn’t tell me about it, and that was my fault for not being someone you could fully trust. Probably because I was just a dumb kid with stars in my eyes and a lack of impulse control when it came to you.”

Zeke’s gaze swung back and nearly glued me to the ground with his intensity. His voice came out low, intimate in the way it scraped across the air between us. “But you’re back now. And I’m no kid.”

My knees began to shake. He dipped his head until he was looking at me from my height. I couldn’t have looked away even if I wanted to. “I’m marrying you because you deserve to know what it’s like to be someone’s everything. Even just once in your life. And I can give that to you, baby girl.”

Then he swung open the door and ushered me inside the courthouse.
