Oct. 31st, 2009 10:40 pmWithin two hours, the Watchtower had been transformed into a place filled with dozens of tulips in every color that tulips came in. Vases of them were set on every available surface, including the stairs.
Oliver stood in the living room, dressed in a tuxedo and a black bow-tie. He had never imagined getting married before 30. Hell, he'd never imagined getting married at all. It had never been in his plans, especially considering his double life. But as he stood waiting for the judge to arrive, he wondered why he'd so easily thrown the idea out the window. Now, being married and having a family seemed to be the most important thing he could do.
Especially with Chloe.
His gut clenched at the thought of her upstairs, getting ready to marry him. He was pretty sure no one had seen this turn of events coming. Then again, no one had been around to witness how their lives had changed over the last year and a half. It had just been the two of them.
A picture across the room caught his eye and he drew in a breath, slowly moving over to pick it up. It was a framed picture of Jimmy and Chloe on their wedding day. He stared at it for a long moment. It seemed like so long ago now, but in reality it hadn't been all that long. "I'll take care of her," he whispered with a faint smile. "I promise." He set the picture down once more as the doorbell rang.
This was it.
He was getting married.
