I didn’t think he had it in him to ever commit.

I can fill you in when I see you.Text me your availability.

I’m sure Margot is on you about planning a huge wedding.

Oh, the doctor is here.I’m coming to the store in a few days if I can get away, and we’re going to talk.

Or I can come to you.Lunch or coffee, or I’ll just sit with you.

I wait a few seconds, and there are no three dots or response, so I’m guessing she got torn away.

I pocket my phone, still smiling.

“Good news?”Easton glances over.

“My best friend Honor.She saw the proposal video.”

I scan down my missed calls and texts, and yes, Honor knows Margot Hargrove well because there are six missed phone calls from my mother already.

“I don’t think she’s in agreement on our plan.”

“You told her?”he asks.

“Well, she knew the whole marriage stipulation.But don’t worry, we can trust her.She’s a ride or die.”

Hopefully, we can keep it from Jagger, though, since he’s paranoid about it being leaked.

“Well, I can’t say anything.All of my friends know.”

“I admit, I feel bad.We grew up together, and she always wanted to travel like me, but her grandma fell ill while we were in high school, and Honor had no choice but to stay here and take care of her.”

Easton frowns.“That’s rough.”

“Yeah, she had a boyfriend for a while who I thought was going to bring her more happiness, but that didn’t last.I just want her to have everything she wants.”

Easton nods, focusing his attention on the sidewalk ahead.“That can be hard.My best friend in college never made it out of the farm league.Eventually he quit.But he’s happy.Married, three kids.But yeah, sometimes I feel like a dick when I’m talking to him about what’s going on with the Colts.”

I glance at him, but he’s looking at Tanner now, adjusting the sunshade on the stroller.

“You don’t mind if I invite her over sometime, or maybe get her tickets to a game?”I hate asking, but I’d do about anything to give Honor a night off to blow off some steam.

“First of all, my condo is your condo.Second of all, you have full access to tickets now.It’s kind of mandatory that you come to games since you’re going to be my wife.”

I smile at him.Easton really is a good guy.

“She’s gonna love you.”

“Everyone loves me.”His cocky smile is back, the easy one he uses like a reflex.

I roll my eyes.

He laughs, and Tanner kicks his legs at the sound of his daddy.

My phone buzzes again, and I pull it back out.

Honor: I gotta know, did you swoon?

I glance at Easton from the corner of my eye.The afternoon light shows off the auburn highlights in his brown hair.His defined jawline and perfect smile.
