I laughed, and Oliver stood there shaking his head. “Like I said, you’re an idiot.”
“You say that now, but you won’t be when I start raking in the millions, dear brother.”
Oliver sighed. “You already rake in the millions. Come on. We’re going to be late. Congrats, Drew. I’m happy for you, man.”
“Yeah. Congratulations, bro. The six of us need to do dinner. Call me!” He pointed at me as they headed to the car.
“I will, and thanks again.”
Liam held his arms out. “That’s what a wingman does, bro.”
Chuckling, I walked into the house and found Jillian in the kitchen, pouring us a glass of wine.
“I’ve been thinking,” she spoke. “I’m going to take the bar exam.”
“Really? I thought you didn’t want to be a lawyer?” I asked as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
“I worked my ass off in college and law school, and it would be a waste at least not to take the exam.”
“I think it’s a good idea. I’ll tell you what, you can come to work for me as my company lawyer if you want to. I’d hire you on the spot.”
“Don’t you have a lawyer already?”
I shrugged. “A firm. But they can easily be replaced by someone as sexy as you.” I smiled as I kissed her lips.
“We’d have to work together every day. We’d see each other all the time. Don’t you think we’d get sick of each other?”
“I could never get sick of having you by my side all day long.”
A smile graced her beautiful face. “Good, because I could never get sick of you either. There’s something else I need to do.”
“What’s that, baby?”
“I need to go see Grant and my mom. It’s part of my journey, for closure purposes.”
“Do you want me to come with you?”
“Yes. If you wouldn’t mind.”
“I would be happy to go with you.”
“Thank you. It would mean a lot to me. I love you.” A beautiful smile graced her face as her arms wrapped around my neck.
“And I love you. Now, about that dessert you promised me.” I grinned as my hand traveled up her short skirt.
“Where would you like to have our dessert?” The corners of her mouth curved upward.
“I was thinking right here in the kitchen.” I lifted her up on the counter and brushed my lips against hers.

As Drew and I stepped off the plane, I thought I’d feel nervous, but I wasn’t, which was weird. When I turned on my phone, a message from Kellan came through.
“Douchebag is at Bar Louie, and he’s here with some chick. I’m sitting at the bar trying not to gag.”
“Thanks. Did he see you?”
