Follow Your Star Jennifer Bohnet (important books to read .txt) 📖

be in festive mood that evening. Champagne flowed, people wined and dined and everybody was on their feet dancing for hours.

Towards midnight, she and Jean-Claude mingled with the other party-goers as they all made their way out on to the terrace in a brief pause in the festivities before the fireworks began. Vanessa and Ralph had managed to save them a good viewing position and Mathieu and Evie soon joined them.

Nanette, standing there with her friends and Jean-Claude’s arm around her shoulders, looked around contentedly. Tomorrow she and Jean-Claude would be flying to a very different world when they left to visit the UK for Dylan’s christening. Two contrasting worlds, but both now very much a part of her life.

Jean-Claude had been delighted when Patsy had phoned and asked him to be a godparent with Nanette and had been planning all sorts of surprises for the unsuspecting Dylan.

The whoosh of the first warning rocket and everyone looked skywards, except Jean-Claude who gently drew Nanette towards him.

Surprised she looked at him as he took both her hands in his. ‘Ma chérie, will you marry me?’

The sky exploded with thousands of silver stars in time with her heart as Nanette whispered a tremulous, ‘Yes please.’

Jean-Claude slipped a ring on her finger while more fiery flashes of gold, silver, red and blue filled the sky over Monte Carlo before showering down into the Mediterranean.

Surrendering herself to Jean-Claude’s arms, Nanette knew beyond all doubt that his love was her second, true, legacy from France.
