Promise Kept (28 page)
Authors: Mitzi Pool Bridges
Donovan went up to Mark. “Did you know there’s a tradition that when a couple gets married they exchange gifts?” Earlier, Phyl had given him her dad’s pocket watch. He didn’t want to take it. It belonged to Mark. But Phyl had insisted. “Someday it’ll be his. Now it’s yours.”
Donovan looked at Mark, at the excitement in his eyes, and felt his heart melt.
“Look in the trailer, Mark.”
Mark ran around to the back of the trailer, where Ray opened the doors.
“Snowman!” he squealed. “And Snowflake! Are they Mom’s? Are they her wedding present?”
His eyes were so big, his excitement so palpable that Donovan had to laugh. “I’m marrying both of you, aren’t I? That means you both get a gift. Snowman is yours.”
Mark threw his arms around Donovan. “I love you, Dad.”
“I love you, Mark. Don’t ever forget it.”
Donovan vowed that he’d remind Mark of that fact every chance he got. Especially when his brothers and sisters came along. Just as his dad had done when he was growing up.
The back door opened and Phyl came out. She was so beautiful it made his heart stand still.
Full of love and gratitude, Donovan went to greet his bride.
