“Charlie?”
“Yeah?”
“Want to come over and watch Harry Potter?”
Chapter 30
The church was decorated with red and white roses, and the wooden pews were adorned with white satin bows. Viper stood at the altar with the minster. He had on a tie, but he was also wearing a leather cut. Raze was next to him as his best man.
Bones placed his hand at the small of my back and ushered me forward. We took the pew with Willa, Duke, Sailor, Waverly, and her boyfriend Dylan.
I slid in next to Waverly.
She looked at me and grinned. “Well, hey there, Hayden. How’s it going?”
My gaze narrowed at her. “You be quiet.”
“I’m not saying anything,” she said with a smirk. She leaned forward and peered at Bones. “Hi.”
“You don’t have to be everyone’s annoying little sister,” I told her.
“Uh, yeah, I do. It’s kind of my job. You know how I keep thoughts to myself?”
“How?”
“Bribery.”
“I’m not paying you money,” I said with a laugh.
“I don’t want money, I want hard candy. Butterscotch,” she said.
“I don’t have any candy in my purse.” I held up my teeny tiny clutch. “It wouldn’t fit. Can I offer an IOU?”
She grinned. “Yes.”
“You guys sound like you’re making a business deal,” Bones said. “What’s all this about anyway?”
The string trio in the corner of the church struck a chord and the crowd fell silent. We turned to the back of the room and watched a girl with a mop of blonde curls wearing a pink dress throw rose petals as she walked down the aisle. Mia trailed after her. I saw Colt watch his wife. His eyes tracked her, and not even the baby smacking him in the face with her hands distracted him.
Sutton took her place at the back of the aisle, and then began to stroll toward her waiting fiancé. Though she was beautiful, I was much more interested in Viper’s reaction to her, so I turned to look at him.
His face was stoic and he had no outward reaction to his bride. But in his eyes, I saw the truth.
This is forever.
Bones wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him. I looked up at him and he was staring down at me, looking at me the way Viper was looking at Sutton; the way Colt looked at Mia.
My breath caught.
Maybe I can have forever too.
When the string trio ceased their tune, and Sutton met Viper at the altar, the moment between Bones and I was broken.
Everyone sat.
Boxer gestured to the flower girl and she ran to him and hopped up on his lap.
“We are gathered here today…” the minister began.
