章 109: The Vow - Part 3

Dane

John had already fled as soon as the license was signed. And Bert wasn't much slower, making sure everything was legal—he didn't ask any questions about how they'd gotten a license so quickly—and all the details were correct, before he offered a hand to shake for Dane, and a hug for Lila. 

"God bless your love for each other," he said warmly. 

They both thanked him and walked him to the door. Before they reached it, he paused and said, "Indulge me just for a moment, Dane. I have one piece of advice for you both."

"What is it?" Dane said, a little too sharply, but Lila hid her smile behind her hand. 

Bert grinned too. "It's this: Don't ever let anyone else make you believe that God doesn't celebrate your love for each other. He created love. He is love. When you love each other—give yourselves to each other—He loves that too."
