The Deal (33 page)

“Well you are the most handsome, most sexiest, most incredible man I have ever laid eyes on and I cannot wait to marry you a second time around, for real this time,” I whisper back and I cup his cheek in my hand. He turns his head to the side and kisses my palm. Jolts of recognition shoot through me and that is exactly what he did the first time around. I smile at him and Craig kisses my cheek. Another thing he did last year.

“You aren’t husband and wife yet,” I hear Rob say and it chokes me up because those are the exact same words he said the first time around. Did they plan this or something? I look to Rob who winks at me and he knows exactly what he just said. I smile a watery smile at him and focus my attention back on Craig who lets out a hearty chuckle at the words. Turning towards the adjudicator, my hand still entwined within his, Craig lets him know we are ready to proceed.

“Let’s make this bride mine then,” he replies back, winking at me, “Let’s make her Mrs Thomas...again.”

About The Author

Z. Elizabeth is a debut author who grew up in Wales, UK and wishes she knew how to speak fluent Welsh. Bore da (Good morning), Wedi Bleno (tired) and Ydw (I am) just don't cut it.
Reading has always been a part of her life since she was a young kid and writing came quickly after she discovered her love for studying English Language and writing fiction. Since graduating with a degree in BA Journalism, writing is embedded into her everyday working and personal life. At 15, she finished a full length novel and thought nothing of it until now. The Deal is loosely based upon that story and it's one that she is hugely proud of writing and re-writing and re-writing...
When she isn't slaving away at her day job, you can find her daydreaming about her book boyfriends, reading the next hot book out or binge eating with her friends, continually shocking them with the filth that flies out of her mouth. 
Z. Elizabeth hopes that her characters end up on your book boyfriend/girlfriend lists and her book ends up on your favourite list, maybe even your bookshelf.
