Chapter Thirty-eight

Aksel

“The competition is over. You won nothing while your husband won everything. You must feel very jealous. Has it affected your marriage at all?”

Aksel throws his head back and laughs, the sound easy and genuine. “Cammie, that’s a bold question,” he says, grin unapologetic. “Of course it’s affected our marriage, but not the way you’re implying. We’re stronger now than we were when this started.”

His smile softens, turning earnest. “If we can survive a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a million-dollar competition, and a long-lost parent showing up on national television, then I think it’s safe to say we can survive anything. I couldn’t be prouder of my husband.”
