Chapter 46 - The Beach Wedding
They did not have a massive, ostentatious high-society wedding.
Claire and Elias were married on the exact same quiet, pristine beach where Claire had once stood alone at dawn, realizing she was free.

Elias watched her approach, his gray eyes shining with absolute adoration and profound respect.
