A Rescued Heart(29)
Author: Natalie Replogle

Ava kissed his cheek and rested her head on his shoulder. She soaked in her last few moments of looking over the room and all the work he’d put into making this her dream come true.

Matt interrupted while she committed the sight to memory. “What do you say we go get this party started? We have a lot to celebrate … and this is just the beginning.”

He kissed the top of her head and stood. He turned and took both her hands into his and pulled her up. They stood on different steps which put their heights at eye level. Ava took the opportunity that presented itself and threw her arms around his neck. He let out a huff of breath, not expecting her tight hold, but brought his arms around her waist with the same tightness. Ava clung to him, silently thanking God for rescuing her heart and creating this incredible man that chose her to love.
