A year after their wedding, Rayne and Liam basked in the warmth of a perfect summer day, surrounded by friends who had become family.
The picnic blanket was spread out under a sprawling oak tree, its branches offering dappled shade. The laughter of children mingled with the soft murmur of adult conversation, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and love.
Their wedding a year ago had been grand, an event no one would never forget. Rayne had not expected Liam to send out the invitations to everyone and make all the arrangements without her knowledge, but he'd done it, with the help of Neil and Mia. Now, they were all seated together on the picnic mat, with Neil and Mia's four-month-old baby girl being gently held by four-year-old Melissa on Neil's lap.
