SAM

Ally and I turn and watch as Adam takes Tilly in his arms. Looking down into Ally’s wet eyes, I can’t believe we’re finally at this moment. We dance slowly around the dance floor, and everywhere I look, there are couples. Is it any wonder we held out for the one who made the world make sense?

“Look,” I tell Ally as I slowly turn us as we take in the couples slow dancing with us: Mum and Reaper, Cash and Lizzie, Adam and Tilly, Liam and Sera, Johnny and Maya, Andy and Moira, Tommy and Lana.

Then the brotherhood and their Old Ladies, including my grandparents and their generation.

The only ones missing are the Zambia crew, but they’re going through their own shit and hadn’t been able to make it. We understood.

Bren and Alec sway to a stop next to us, and they look out over the dance floor with us, seeing what we’re seeing. The love and family in the room are immense.

“We’re so lucky,” I say. From behind me, Ben agrees, “We are.” Turning, I see my crew standing with us at the edge of the dance floor, watching the couples.

“It’s a good feeling knowing that we’re lucky enough to have them,” Ally whispers.

She’s right; it is a good feeling knowing we have the love of so many people.

Taking Ally back in my arms, we rejoin the couples on the floor.

She laughs out loud as I dip her over my arm and kiss her, long and deep.

When I lift her back up, I’m smiling as I press a soft kiss to her smiling lips, “Love you, Ally. You’re my forever. ”
