Ellie and Jasper stood one step from each other, both smiling so widely that their cheeks were hurting.
Ellie can see Mathew's reluctance to leave her side.
The two of them had a rocky past and Ellie was doing her best to stay away from Mathew because of how he treated her mother when she needed him: he was not there.
However, Ellie can't deny that Mathew was always there for her, and she knows that he protected her from the shadows many times. She was rude and heartless toward him and pushed him away every chance she got, and yet… here he is. Still by her side, available for anything she needs. Including walking her down the aisle.
Seeing this strong and powerful man being insecure and maybe even concerned for her in front of all these people, made Ellie's heart crack a little.
She turned to him and said sweetly: "Thanks, dad."
All Mathew's grievances left him. She called him DAD!
