I get my answer when I step outside and see them walking up to the front door with Snow and Wells’s kids in their hands.
“Hey, are you headed out?” Myra asks and I nod.
“I thought maybe you guys had gone home.”
“No, not yet,” Magnolia says with a smile.
“We had to drop off the first load of desserts to the school and I needed to grab some things for the twins at the store,” Snow says.
“Good luck on your date,” Magnolia says and I smile as I head over to my car.
I watch them head inside before I head down the driveway and toward town.
I can’t help but smile as I wonder what Mabel has planned for tonight.
Probably some kind of adventure.

“We’re so late,” Mabel groans as we snag the last parking spot in front of the town diner.
“It was worth it,” I say, grabbing her hand before she can jump out of the car and tugging her back toward me.
She just grins as she leans over the center console, letting me kiss her once. We’re running late because when I went over to pick her up and saw her in that dress, I couldn’t keep my hands off of her. I ended up taking her against the front door. I thought that it was just going to be a quickie but we ended up making out and stealing little touches and kisses as we tried to right our clothes.
Now we’re almost ten minutes late to meet our friends for dinner. Tonight is the first time that any of my friends are meeting Mabel. Maybe I should be nervous about how it will go but I’m not. It’s impossible not to love Mabel and I know that she’ll get along well with everyone.
I’m more nervous to be meeting her friends. She invited her friends, Grier and Anise, and I’m just hoping that they like me. All three of them work together at Snips and from what Mabel has told me about them, they just moved to town a few months ago too. Grier even let Mabel stay with her for a few days when her apartment building was being fumigated.
We head inside and I spot our table right away. Mainly because it’s actually three tables pushed together at the very back of the diner.
“Sorry we’re late,” Mabel says, tugging on my hand as she leads me over to our group.
“No worries. We just got seated,” a blonde-haired girl says.
From what Mabel told me, this must be Grier, which means that the black-haired girl next to her is Anise.
“Anise, Grier,” Mabel starts, “this is Jonah.”
“Hey, it’s nice to finally meet you,” I tell them and they both smile.
“You too. Mabel hasn’t been able to stop talking about you,” Grier says and I start to relax.
“Guys, this is Mabel. Mabel, this is my cousin Ledger and his wife Tilly, Alder and Myra, Magnolia and Graham, Wells, Snow, and their twins Micah and Rome, and that’s Rhodes and Rory.”
“It’s so nice to meet you,” Rory says as I pull out a chair across from her for Mabel.
“You too. I love your dress!”
And just like that, dinner is off to a great start. Mabel charms all of my friends and I can’t help but fall a little more in love with her as I watch her help Snow and Wells with their kids. Seeing her with a baby in her arms solidifies all of my fantasies of her having my babies, and I know in that moment that I can’t live my life without her.
I don’t know what I did to deserve her, but I’m grateful to have her here now by my side.
“What about you, Jonah?” Grier asks and I blink, trying to tear my eyes away from Mabel.
“Sorry, what was the question?”
