They Erased Me, So I Rewrote My Life Chapter 57

He took a breath.

“But now, I don’t want to just run a bookstore with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Will you marry me?”

My tears came all at once.

Not because I was sad.

Because I was so happy it ached.

“Yes.” I was crying and laughing at the same time. “Yes, Leo.”

He stood, his hands trembling slightly, and slipped the one-of-a-kind ring onto my finger.

Then he held me.

We kissed between the bookshelves, surrounded by the smell of paper and a future that was just beginning.

The wedding was held on an Oregon farm.

On the open lawn at Leo’s uncle’s place.

Everyone there was someone we truly wanted to see.

Regulars from the bookstore, friends from town, Leo’s family.

No Waltons.

No Savannah.

No flashbulbs, and no performative smiles.

Only blessings.

The ceremony was simple and warm.

When I walked toward Leo in my white wedding dress, his eyes reddened instantly.

During our vows, he said something so softly that only I could hear.

“Do you remember?”

“Remember what?”
