perfect,” she said, her hand running the length of the dress, absorbing all of its glory. Tyler had chosen a dress of simple elegance and it was everything she used to dream of. From the simple A-line cut, to the lace covering all of it, the bodice laced with jewels on the waistline. He had made sure she was covered, most of her arms would be covered by this, and her eyes watered more. Even though some of her scars would be on show, he had made sure not many were.
    Looking at the dress, Austin felt another part of her fall in love with Tyler all over again. Just as the magic of the dress began to cloak her, her hand immediately came up to the burn scars on her arm. The panic immediately set in and she felt herself become nervous.
    “He won’t care about the scars,” Sienna stepped in. She had been watching her baby sister for a few minutes before realizing where Austin’s mind was free falling to. “You are more than just scars to him. He sees passed them.”
    “I’m imperfect,” Austin whispered as she looked away from her sister’s reflection and to her arm. “Why would he want someone that’s going to be scarred for life?”
    Sienna stepped towards Austin, her hands coming to her sister’s shoulders and she smiled reassuringly. “He loves you. He loves you so, so much, Aus. All he sees with you is perfection. The way he sees it, Aussie, is that he has his life back. A life he spent so long looking for.”
    “Is she panicking?” Tom’s voice drifting in from the doorway as he came into the room quickly and then abruptly stopped. “I’m going to back up out of this room, then I’ll give you ten minutes and when I come back in I want some semblance of makeup done, the dress on and doubts gone.”
    The moment he had shut the door, Austin found herself literally stripped and dressed. The moment the dress flowed across every curve of hers and hit the floor, she felt like the world was slowing down for her. That everyone was here to watch this moment.
    “I don’t want much done to my hair,” she stated quickly, skimming her palms over the beauty wrapped around her. “Not too much makeup either.”
    “I think that would be the perfect choice,” Jane stated as she slipped the dress up and guided Austin to a chair. Quickly, she was brushing Austin’s hair out of the ponytail, while Sienna applied a light, yet effect layer of makeup.
    Sienna was not quite finished when there was a knock at the door, and Tom walked in to find them not quite ready. “I have to say that you did good for ten minutes,” he remarked, looking to his watch. “Okay, twelve.”
    “I can’t marry him like this,” Austin argued, her voice a slight whimper. “I’m so unprepared!”
    “Yeah, he said you’d say that, so he wrote this for one last measure of leverage,” Tom said, reaching into the inside of his blazer pocket for something. Pulling out an envelope, he handed it over and took a step back. He watched as Austin took it with both hands, reading her name in Tyler’s handwriting before looking back up at him confused. “Read it,” he prompted her, giving her a gentle push.
    Ripping the envelope open, she allowed it to drop as she held onto the letter and read it silently to herself. She felt her tears begin to liven up again, her vision blurring as she read each carefully thought out word.
     
    Austin,
    I thought second chances were for fools. Childish fools who believed miracles could happen. I wasn’t a dreamer. The moment I found you gone I believed in nothing. I strived to carry on, but I didn’t realize how empty my life was until you walked back into town. You set my mind spinning. You made me crazy, and in the end you made me realize that I was only actually crazy in love - with you.
    I saw your face the moment I walked into the house tonight. You thought the past was on repeat. I hated seeing it. I won’t ever be that guy again. I would rather hang up my gun and hand in my badge than neglect you. When I
