Their eyes clashed from across the mere feet separating them.
It no longer felt as if they were separated by an unruly sea. No, even now, the feet were more like inches. In her mind, Sybil knew Gideon’s touch, his caress, and the warmth of his lips against hers. For so many months, she’d had no other option but to remember the way things had been—to hold them close during the long nights alone—after he disappeared, fearing she’d never set eyes on him again.
As of that morning, they were man and wife, joined in matrimony before all of London, witnessed by every person she held dear.
Nothing short of death would ever separate them—that was the promise Gideon had pledged to her.
Sybil was happy—loved, cherished, and lavished with affection.
When Gideon held his arms wide, Sybil didn’t hesitate. She threw herself into his embrace.
“I love you, my dearest husband,” she muttered, swallowing the sob that threatened to escape.
“I love you, too.” Gideon pulled back, his intense stare searching her face. “Are you crying?”
“They are tears of utter joy, happiness, and love.” Sybil moved back into his arms, pressing her cheek to his chest as she listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart, completely in tune with her own.
