I laugh. “I’ll tell them that you’re my angel.”
“What time is spaghetti dinner on Sunday?” She asks with a grin.
“I’ll pick you up at four.” I brush my fingers over her cheek. “What are you doing tomorrow?”
“Figuring out the rest of my life.” She sighs. “I’m going to clear out my office and decide what my next step should be.”
“The Rizon account is yours.” I kiss her temple. “I have no problem breaking the contract with Faye & Sons.”
“My dad will let me take your account.” She stares into my eyes. ‘I think I’ll start my own firm. I know it will take time to build up a client base, but I have some savings and a lot of connections.”
“I’ll be there every step of the way if you need me, Linny.”
“I’m here for you too.” Her hand brushes my chin. “I’ll always be here for you.”
Chapter 53
Linny
“You weren’t kidding.” I wave my fork in the air toward Zach. “This is awesome spaghetti.”
“I know, right?” He spins his fork on his plate, picking up another long noodle. “If we all work together, it turns out just right.”
That’s exactly what they did.
I sat by the large granite island in the massive kitchen, while Jeremy and his siblings worked side-by-side to create a meal of homemade meat sauce and pasta, garlic bread and a side salad.
They teased each other while they maneuvered around the kitchen, each with a specific job.
“Sorry again about the wine,” Jeremy apologizes for a second time.
It’s what I asked for when he offered me a drink after we got here. He was quick to explain that he doesn’t keep any alcohol in the house.
It’s admirable.
I settled on an iced tea with lemon.
“How did you meet Germany?” Breccan asks from where he’s sitting opposite me at the dining room table.
The brownstone is large, covering three floors.
I was given a tour by Athena right before dinner was served.
The main floor is home to the kitchen, the formal dining room, a library, a living room and a bathroom.
We went up one flight of stairs to three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and then another flight to where the master suite is.
The entire townhouse is decorated in a contemporary style that compliments the dark hardwood floors and antique light fixtures.
It’s a home. A warm home filled with love.
“Do you remember when I went to Las Vegas a few months ago?” Jeremy takes a sip of water. “I met Linny on the flight there. She was wearing a pink tutu and a tiara.”
A chorus of laughter fills the room.
“A tutu and a tiara?” Athena’s thickly lashed blue eyes widen. “Do tell, Linny. What was that about?”
I place my fork on my plate. “I was going there for a bachelorette party. I was a bridesmaid. There were three of us on the airplane dressed like that.”
