biggest gift is a present to him. And that present is Charity.” I looked directly at her. “He loves you, and I hope that you spend the next hundred years giving each other gifts every day. To my father and new stepmother, cheers!” I heard a resounding cheers from the crowd and some people clinking their glasses together, then the silence as everyone drank the champagne. The music had just begun to play when I heard someone say “I have a toast.”
    I recognized the voice. My head spun around to see Blake standing next to the band in a perfectly crisp black suit and tie. He had a glass in his hand and a smile on his face. “I know this is unorthodox because I wasn't invited to toast, however I have some feelings that I think are appropriate. I practically grew up in that house with Lena and her family and I saw what real love looked like. So I wrote down a few things that I think you should remember when trying to love someone.” My breath caught in my chest. I struggled for air as he crossed the dance floor and walked to my table. Mackenzie hit my arm and jumpstarted my heart.
    He eyes met mine. “You should always run in the rain. You should always lay on the beach and look at the stars and dream about being among them. You should hold hands and run through fields in the breeze of spring. You should swim in the ocean whenever you want to. You should try new things, meet new people, and go new places. But you should always come home too, where people know you best.” He turned away from me and looked at my dad and Charity. “You should love one another so fiercely that it hurts to breathe without the other one close to you.” He looked back at me once more, “And you should play. Because it fills your heart and makes you feel right inside.” At that moment the keyboard player from the band stood up and extended his hands to his seat. Blake reached for my hand and I fearfully gave it to him. He led me over to the stage and as I walked on it I felt completely overwhelmed by all the people watching me. When I looked at my dad he just smiled. I flattened the bottom of my dress and sat down allowing my fingers to find their place in the plastic keys. I had to think of the right song, something that would show Blake that I knew he was talking to me. Luckily the answer was right in front of me. Sitting on the stand was the sheet music for John Legend’s All of Me. I nodded to Blake as he took my seat next to Mackenzie. Slowly I started to play the ballad and I moved with the music as it flowed out of the keyboard. I put every emotion I had into that song. I closed my eyes when I knew the notes and just let it happen. Blake had come to tell me that he loved me and I was dying inside trying not to let my heart jump straight out of my chest into his lap. But the music calmed me and said everything that I didn't know if I could. It said how much I needed him and loved him and how I would make up for every wrongdoing that I had done to us. I had missed him so much. As the song came to a close and the audience interrupted with applause I could only see one person in the crowd, Blake. He remained seated with a smug smile on his face. Charity and my father came up to me and hugged me tightly, clearly thinking the whole event had been planned. The band started playing again and servers began ushering people to the buffet. I walked back to my table but Blake was gone.
    “Kenz, where did he go?”
    She nodded her head toward the garden. “Gazebo.”
    As I turned to go there she stopped me. “Lena!” I turned back around. “Tell him. Tell him you love him. Because he’s clearly crazy about you.”
    I walked on the grass and my heels sunk just a little bit as I made my way to the gazebo. Blake stood with his back to me looking out into the night over the garden. There were twinkling lights dangling from the top that gave the whole place a nice little glow. “You came.”
    He had his hands in his pockets and he turned around
