At seventy-three, I said “I do” to the man who had been my first love—not because we had a lifetime together, but because it was the final wish of the man who was running out of time.

My father attacked me with a brick because my fiancé refused to leave me for my younger sister. As I lay on the ground, injured and bleeding, my mother stood over me with a cruel smile and whispered: “Let’s see if Wyatt still chooses you after this.” They thought they had taken away my future.

Because by the time I stepped up to the microphone for the wedding toast, Natalie was about to discover that the woman she underestimated had been planning a surprise of her own. Her perfect little world was about to collapse.
