Chapter 372. Epilogue

Aurora’s POV

7 months later...

I stand in front of the mirror, my fingers grazing the intricate lace of my wedding dress, feeling the delicate embroidery beneath my touch. The reflection staring back at me is almost unrecognizable-the girl I once was has transformed into this woman, this bride, glowing with anticipation. My heart is steady, my breath even, a stark contrast to the usual nervous energy brides are supposed to have. But how could I be nervous when this is everything I’ve ever wanted?

“Aurora, I swear you’re the calmest bride I’ve ever seen,” Caroline teases, her fingers fussing over the tiny buttons at the back of my gown. “Are you sure you’re not secretly panicking?”

I turn slightly, meeting her playful gaze through the mirror. “I’m sure,” I say with a soft laugh. “I don’t need to be nervous when I know exactly what I want. My family is here. Caleb is waiting for me at the end of that aisle. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
