The wedding venue was glowing with white flowers and warm chandelier light when little Noah walked into the hallway wearing a tiny gray suit.
He looked nervous.
At the far end stood Daniel Carter in a black tuxedo, only minutes away from his wedding.
Daniel noticed the boy immediately.
Hey, buddy.
Noah stopped.
Daniel crouched in front of him.
What are you doing out here?
The boy looked toward the ballroom.
Then back at Daniel.
I need to tell you something before you marry her.
Daniel’s smile disappeared.
What do you mean?
Noah leaned closer.
She said I have to call her Mom after today.
Daniel frowned.
His fiancée Victoria had never mentioned that conversation.
Noah continued.
And she said I should stop talking about my real mom.
Daniel went completely still.
Before he could ask another question, footsteps approached behind them.
Victoria appeared in her wedding dress.
And the moment she saw Noah talking to Daniel, her expression changed.
