543 One day before wedding (S&F) (5)

~ Seattle, Black Rose nightclub ~

On the dance floor…

Bridgette's arms are wrapped around Steve's waist and her head rests on his chest. They are one couple in the crowd; no privacy is provided but the amount of people allows them to blend in and feel like they are alone.

She took a deep breath, inhaling his scent.

Bridgette is a petite young woman, easily lost in a crowd of people where most of them are towering above her. But here, in Steve's embrace, she feels safe. No matter how many people surround them, she knows that he will take care of her.

She was prepared to meet with him later tonight, possibly after midnight, when the all-girl event ends. When she heard that Steve is in the nightclub and she can see him earlier, she didn't hesitate. The only thing Bridgette regrets is that she forgot to tell Sophia, JoAnna, and Sarah when she left the VIP room that she was going to join Steve downstairs. She was caught in the moment and just left.
