In that moment, the pity in the room vanished, replaced by awe and love. People were openly crying. My own tears blurred my vision as I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around him, holding him like never before.<\/p>\n
It stung. But when Daniel smiled at me, nothing else mattered.<\/p>\n
Halfway through the reception, after our first dance \u2014 him spinning me from his wheelchair with surprising grace \u2014 Daniel took the microphone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a surprise for you,\u201d he said, his voice shaking. \u201cI hope you\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
I frowned, curious. Then his brother stepped out from the crowd, walked over, and offered him his arm.<\/p>\n
The room fell silent.<\/p>\n
Daniel gripped his brother\u2019s arm and, with visible effort, began to rise. Slowly, shakily, he stood. My breath caught in my throat. He swayed for a moment, then took a step. Then another. His eyes never left mine.<\/p>\n
Every person in the room was frozen in disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promised I\u2019d do this for you,\u201d he whispered when he reached me, tears glistening in his eyes. \u201cJust once \u2014 on my own two feet. Because you believed in me when no one else would.\u201d<\/p>\n In that moment, the pity in the room vanished, replaced by awe and love. People were openly crying. My own tears blurred my vision as I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around him, holding him like never before.<\/p>\n
