Vera's POV

"Mum"
I ran over to her and she turned to hug me.
This time I allowed the tears to fall down my cheeks freely .

"Oh my sweetie how have you been?"
She cupped my face in her hands as she placed kisses all over my face .

"I'm okay mum"
I giggled taking her hands in mine.
"How are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine my dear.
Just fine"

She smiled at me.
I looked dad dad beside me and I could see he was holding back tears. He opened his arms and I ran into them.

"Hey cupcake"
He kissed the top of my head

"Hi Dad"
I sniffled, pulling back

"How are you my sweet?"

"I'm absolutely alright dad"

"Is Julius treating you okay?"

I smiled and looked at him accross the room as he talked and smiled with a group of men.

"Yeah, he is"

"I'm so glad my dear"

I looked behind dad to see Nina standing there fiddling with her dress sleeve.

"N-nina?"

She looked up at me and I walked up to her.
I opened my mouth to speak but she hugged me.

"I'm sorry"
She sniffled

"It's okay baby"
I kissed her head and hugged her back

She wiped her tears and pulled away

"How have you been?
How are you and Julius?"

I smiled down at her

"We're good Nina.
He treats me very well and I'm happy I married him"

Lexi came up to us as mum and dad excused themselves to meet Julius

"Come on!
Let's check out the food tables"

We laughed at her love for food as we rushed over to the food tables

"I can see you and Julius have finally found each other"

Lexi and I stood talking with drinks in our hands .

"Yeah.
He's changed for the better "
I blushed looking away.

"It's now time for the couple's dance"

The announcer said and everyone looked at me as Julius walked towards me.
Everyone gave way, giving us room .

He came up to me as brought out his hand

"May I have this dance bellissima?"

I nodded as I took his hand and he pulled us to the floor.
Slow and romantic music started playing as he pulled me to him by my waist and we took our positions.
My hands behind his neck and his around my waist. The music started and we commenced our dancing.
