Chapter Six:

The wedding is beautiful.

Charlie, so proud and happy to be able to show Amita off as his own, keeps his arm around her or holds her hand almost the whole day. They even dance a little, joining Larry and Laurel long enough to swap partners for a minute.

The best part of the event for Charlie comes at the end of the day. Despite having to be pushed out onto the dance floor for the bouquet toss, Amita catches it when it comes right at her.

Seeing her shocked expression, Charlie laughs.

After months of silence in his head, the sound reverberates and slightly startles him. He is so happy to have made a sound at all that he rushes out to Amita and kisses her in front of everyone.

Overwhelmed and a little embarrassed because of the circumstances, she pulls away from him. "Charlie!"

"Amita," he says back to her. She is speechless for a second, and then launches into his arms with an ecstatic squeal. His first word and it's her name.

He holds her tightly in his arms and spins her around out of pure joy. It's the last hurdle; the last obstacle to getting his life back and it's been cleared.
