Page 114 of Dreams Do Come True

I turn back to Kean, whose eyes are shining brightly.

“Tus,” Lyric says, holding his arms out to me.

I take him and kiss his head.

“Tus sad?” he asks, looking concerned.

I shake my head. “No, little man, I’m happy.”

He sighs and rests against me, playing with a jacket button.

Molly turns to Kean and hands him my ring. “Kean, slip your ring on Titus’ finger and say your vows.”

I hold my hand out, and Kean slips the ring on my finger, then bends down and kisses my hand and keeps hold of it. “My darling Titus, in all our time together, you have become my person. My love, my best friend, my life and my dream. I never thought I would meet my person, marry them, and have a family with them, but then I met you, and my dreams have come true. You and the boys are my life, my world, and I will spend my life showing you and our boys how much you are all loved.” A tear slips down his cheek, and I drop his hand and wipe it away. Resting my hand on his cheek. “Love you, handsome.”

Kean leans forward, but Molly cackles out a laugh and puts her hand between us. “You can kiss in a moment. Hold hands again.”

I hold my hand out to Kean, and he takes it

Molly pulls out a rainbow ribbon and wraps it around our hands. “May your love always be as strong as you are bound together. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Titus and Kean Compton-Stone. Now you two can share your first married kiss.” And to claps and cheers we share our first kiss as husband and husband.

CHAPTER 36

We pull back and laugh as we walk off the stage and are surrounded by our family and friends. We get hugged and patted on the back. I laugh as I look around; all the townsfolk seem to be here. I wonder if all the shops are closed today.

Adhan and his brothers walk off to sort the BBQ out, and we chat with everyone who comes over.

Daniel comes over and pulls me into a hug, being careful of Lyric. “Congratulations, Titus, Kean,” he says, shaking Kean’s hand. “That was lovely, and yes, I did tear up at your vows. But I need to hear the story of tight jeans and pizza.”

Kean and I burst out laughing.

“I’ll tell you later,” I say. “Thank you for coming.”

Daniel scoffs. “As if I would miss your wedding.”

Monica, Chris and Justin walk over and join us and offer us congratulations.

“Thanks for coming,” Kean says to them.

“It was lovely to be invited,” Chris replies.

“Monica, let me grab Temp, and he can introduce you to the other witches,” I say, as I spy Temp and Ben near us. “Temp,” I call.

He and Ben walk over to join us.

“Hello again,” Temp says to them.

“Temp, this is our case worker, Justin. Justin, our brothers, Tempest and Ben,” I introduce. “Temp, can you introduce the family to Monica, Chris, Daniel and Justin? We’ll join you as soon as we can.”

“It’s your wedding day, Temp, and Ben can introduce us. Just enjoy your day” Monica replies kindly.

“Thanks, Monica,” I reply.

“If you come with us, we’ll make the introductions. The family is easy to spot as we’re all dressed the same,” Temp says, leading them away.

Just as they leave, Reval and Macy join us.

“Congratulations,” they both say.
