The couple had been many minutes in the park, sharing tender kisses, soft caresses and words of love. Well then, after watching the stars twinkle above their heads, closely entwined, they decided to return to the hotel.
Julia helped William undressing, taking care to not look with much interest his body to not be tempted by her desire for him. When he was in front of her only in pants, she moved away from him, ready to leave the room. But he immediately stopped her, sliding his hands down her back to draw against him, putting his face in her hair to speak barely a whisper in her ear.
-Stay.
-I can not William, Julia sighed, closing her eyes, you are still weak and if I stay with you tonight, we may ...
-I shall be wise, cut William before put a wet kiss on her neck.
-Oh yes I see that, said Julia chuckled.
They moved away slightly to cross their eyes and smile.
-Please, William insisted, I need to hold you in my arms.
She sighed deeply and placed a kiss on his lips before leaving his embrace.
-I come back, she said simply.
She quickly left the room without another look. William took the opportunity to remove his pants and join the bed as she walked in again. She closed the door behind her and gave him a glance accompanied with a smile before going into the bathroom, holding her nightgown in hand. She came out a few short minutes later, changed, hair disheveled. She slowly walked towards the bed playing with ropes that were on her chest. At this sight, William swallowed hard, remembering the night he spent with her, when he had opened the ropes and spread the fabric. He relives the moment his fingers had slipped on her skin to up the nightgown and remove it before tasting her soft and sweet skin. He tried to regain his senses, yet greedily watching what was outlined in the fine white cloth. Julia continued to walk slowly towards him and sat on the bed, slipping under the covers without even leaving his eyes. She ran a hand on his waist and the other in his neck to put a kiss on his cheek.
-It will be hard to me to stay good, William muttered, closing his eyes.
She laughed again softly and turned off the light that was on the bedside table before snuggling against him and close her eyes.
-Goodnight William, she whispered , her face in his neck.
-Goodnight Julia, replied William tightening his grip around her.
The sun began its course in the sky and yet the young man was already awake. He looked tenderly at the one that sleeping peacefully against him. He couldnt' help stroking her hip, struggling to not get off the thin fabric from her body, playing with unruly curls of her hair. When he saw she woke up slowly, he leaned forward and kissed her temple.
-Good morning, she murmured, smiling crossing his eyes.
-Good morning, William replied in the same way, although sleep?
-Wonderful and you?
-Just as well.
They even shared glances before William did leans to kiss her with love for a long time.
-William, we have one day to spend in Winnipeg, what do you want to do?
-Marry you, the young man immediately replied before kissing her again.
-You can not be serious?
-I would like to get married here, so we returned to Toronto as husband and wife.
-But ...
-This is only a dream, I know, cut the young man stroking her cheek, you need your family and ...
-I do not need more than my fiance, a witness, a priest and a dress, said Julia smiling, and if I'm not mistaken, I only lack the dress.
-You really want that we get married today?
-Why not? If George and the Inspector agreed to be our witnesses and if we find a priest ready so quickly, I agree to marry you today.
-In this case, I take care to find the priest and the church, as well as alliances, you only have to take care about the dress. I am sure George and Inspector agree to be our witnesses.
-This may be a bit complicated, I doubt find a wedding dress, but I try to take one that looks like the best.
-I will marry you in a nightgown if necessary, William sighed before kissing her passionately, you're so beautiful in nightgown.
She didn't answer and laughed once more feeling the kisses of the young man lost in her neck. She had never imagined how William could be passionate and loving, tender and caring. She had suspected, but to see him take care of her this way, he proves her constantly how much he loved her, he couldn't help but tell her how much he wanted that she becomes his wife, it was all new to her. And she appreciated that. "If only we could have avoided all this suffering to get there. If only William "Julia thought, closing her eyes while a young man's hand tenderly caressed her thigh and his lips took the path of her neck again.
The day was almost over and once again the sun had dominated it. George stood before the small church just outside the city, waiting patiently for Detective Murdoch arrives.
-Damn Crabtree, is he not gone? Brakenreid launched next to him.
-I do not think, sir, he is madly in love with the Doctor. He said he had set a detail.
-The ceremony will start in five minutes, Ogden waits in the priest's office and she is on the verge of hysterics.
-I doubt that anything at all happens before the arrival of the bridegroom, sir.
-Well it is better so, I witnessed the Doctor so if Murdoch ...
He didn't have time to finish his sentence as a horse galloped, William on his back. He came near them and tied the animal.
-Murdoch, what you have you done bloody hell? Said his superior.
-It lacked flowers, he said simply handing him a bouquet of wild flowers he had picked, I must give it to Julia and ...
-It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, Brakenreid grumbled, taking from his hand bouquet, I will do it.
He pulled out one and slipped it into William's pocket jacket before shook his head from left to right and enter the church with a firm step.
-Everything is alright sir? George asked timidly.
-Yes, I ... it is alright George, William replied, smiling politely but tweaking his fingers, you have got the alliances?
-Of course, sir.
-I would pay you purchase on our return. I did not want Julia paied them, you know.
-I understand and there is no hurry. It is a pleasure to help you.
-Is Julia ready?
-I guess so.
-Well ... well in this case.
-Everything will be alright, I am sure.
William didn't answer and smiled again, then at the same steps, they entered the church to go near the altar. They greeted the priest and Thomas joined them, placing himself on the other side of the aisle. The young niece of the priest stood a little further, playing a sweet violin melody. The church was empty apart from them. The doors at the end of the driveway remained open and when the young woman appeared at the end of the aisle William's heart stopped beating within one second. She remained motionless before crossing his eyes and his smile, beginning her walk towards him, holding the bouquet he had given her before her. She had tied her hair as she did often leaving some flyaways dancing in her neck and on her cheeks, she was just made up, her eyes shone with a light that he had rarely seen, her dress was not a wedding dress. It was bluish gray, with a neck lace and some pearls. It was simple and elegant at the same time, at the image of this wedding.
Julia came next to him and she handed her bouquet to Brakenreid before slipping her hands into those of William, smilling to him, unable to leave his look full of love for long and endless minutes. Before finally the priest said that they are husband and wife, before William took her in his arms and kisses her passionately and at length.
Their friends congratulated them and they left the church at the same step, they stood on the forecourt, William and Julia closely entwined.
-Well, here is a good thing done, grumbled Brakenreid, and now back to the hotel for a good meal and a night's sleep, the train leaves at... Murdoch ... what are you doing?
William pulled Julia by hand to the horse and untied him.
-I want to enjoy my wedding night with my wife, sir, he said simply before riding.
He then extended his hand to Julia who also climbed, sitting sidesaddle against William.
-But the train leaves at ...
-Eight hours from Central Station, finished William, I know, we will find you there, he said before starting the horse gallop in the deserted street.
-Where are you taking me my love? Julia whispered on his lips.
-At the end of the world, simply William replied before kissing her tenderly without slowing down as the sun touched the earth and the sky ablaze.
Constable Crabtree and Inspector Brakenreid just watched them leave and they shared a glance and a smile.
-What if we went for a drink to celebrate Crabtree? Because these two, gave us thread retorde. I think we can finally be happy to see them married.
-I will not be against to drink a glass to celebrate Sir, George replied smiling.
