It’s a whirlwind of information but so well written that you crave more! Plus, the dual POVs give us the chance to find out what’s going on during the weeks that Kazi and Jase are separated, not even sure if the other is still alive. I love the surprises that come from this storytelling style, especially in the Kazi and Jase flashbacks. There are so many moments where this story could have become convoluted or plot lines dropped, but Pearson excels at weaving this tale. We‘re given flashbacks to conversations between Kazi and Jase that slowly show us what their weeks together were like, dual POVs to keep us updated in the present, as well as historical moments from the first Ballinger family. I know life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes loss, but whatever paths we go down, I want every step to be with you.Īnd in the presence of these witnesses, I take you to be my husband.Pearson has done such an amazing job crafting this story. With you by my side, I will never lack for joy. I will stand by you as a partner in all things. Your home is now my home, your family, my family. I vow to care for you, to protect you and everything that is yours. You've unlocked a part of me I was afraid to believe in,Īnd made the magic of wish stalks come true. You have given me a universe of stars and stories,

You have brought me fullness where there was only hunger, 'I love you, Jase Ballenger, and I will for all my days. Were any words enough? But I said the ones closest to my heart, the ones I had said in the wilderness and repeated almost daily when I lay in a dark cell, uncertain where he was but needing to believe I would see him again. His brown eyes danced, just as they had the first time he spoke those vows to me. You have not stolen my heart, but I give it freely,Īnd in the presence of these witnesses, I take you to be my wife.' My family is now your family, and your family, mine. I will never stumble in my devotion to you, and I vow to keep you safe always. I vow to honor you, Kazi, and do all I can to be worthy of your love. With you by my side, no challenge will be too great. You are the compass that makes me a better man. You are the hand pulling me through the wilderness, “Kazi of Brightmist.you are the love I didn't know I needed.
