Excerpt:
As the sun stretched its morning rays gently over the farm, Phoenix rose quietly and walked onto the newly constructed deck. Tears misted her eyes once again.
"Do you like it?" CJ asked quietly.
Phoenix turned to stare at the man standing several feet away from her. The man she was going to marry today.
She couldn't speak, but simply nodded and held out her hand to him.
CJ took her hand and led her to stand in front of the sliding glass doors that enclosed the deck, making it a cozy retreat with a fire burning in the outdoor fireplace.
"You have blisters on your hands." Phoenix turned CJ's hands up and looked at the palms.
"Love blisters."
Phoenix laughed as she shook her head. "I'm sure I have some ointment I've used for the llamas that will help those."
"I don't want to upset Romeo by using all his ointment."
CJ and Phoenix laughed together, then lapsed into silence. After a moment, CJ asked, "Are you okay with getting married?"
Slowly, Phoenix nodded. "I still can't quite believe something so beautiful has come into my life. Then all the old fears and doubts start crowding into my head. But my 'sisters' helped me see love is a gift we should treasure and not a regret we passed up."
Turning his palms up, Phoenix kissed the blisters on CJ's hands. One by one.
