Gentry chews on her bottom lip. “We pretend we don’t know each other. I’ll act like you don’t even exist and you make sure we never have to be alone together.”

Levi lets out a dry laugh. “That’s impossible and you know it.”

Gentry looks away, her eyes going glassy. “I’ve got enough shittiness in my life, Levi. If you care about me at all, just make the small amount of effort it will require and keep your distance.”

Levi crosses his arms over his chest. “Fine.”

Gentry nods. “Great.”

She crosses the patio and heads to the back parking lot. Levi storms back inside.

Levi’s heart is probably breaking, but as sad as I am for him, it’s for the best. Gentry is never going to forgive him, and they’ll both be a lot happier if he just moves on.

The club door opens and Jaxon steps onto the patio. He blows out a breath and looks around.

“I’m here.” I get up from my table and hurry over to him, throwing my arms around his shoulders. “I just needed a moment.”

He squeezes me, both arms around my waist. “I put you on the spot out there. It seemed so romantic, but it’s only fair I ask you again while we’re alone. Honey Weston, will you—”

“Yes. I’ll marry you tomorrow if you want. I love you.”

He kisses me until our family finds us and pulls us back inside.
