“True.”
“How is Shane doing?” Belle looked honestly concerned.
Maybe she would be perfect for my brothers. “He’s doing great. The doctors are amazed at how fast he’s recovering. It’s only been two weeks, but he’s zooming through the physical therapy sessions.”
“That’s good to hear, Phoebe.”
Mitchell’s band took the stage.
“Betty’s daughter looks stunning,” Gretchen said. “Look at all the single men gawking at her.”
“Too bad for them,” Ethel chimed in. “Kaylyn only cares about her work.”
“She trains guide dogs, doesn’t she?” Jena was the newest member to their girl pack.
“That’s right, and does an amazing job of it, too,” Erica said. “See those two guys over there with the German shepherds? Those are hers.”
Gretchen smiled wickedly. “The dogs or the men?”
They all laughed.
“The black guy is Chance,” Ethel said. “Betty told me that Kaylyn has been mooning over him for years. Chance was born blind. He educates adults who lose their sight later in life.”
“The other man is my old partner, Jaris.” Nicole’s guilty feelings could be seen on her face. “He’s a wonderful man. I hate what happened to him.”
“Honey, we all do,” Megan said. “But look at him with his dog. He’s going to be fine.”
Jaris’s bravery was unquestioned. The whole town knew what he’d done that day when the crazy woman had tried to shoot Nicole. Phoebe wasn’t sure if he would decide to settle here, but she knew every person in town was trying to convince him to stay.
Gretchen lowered her voice. “Word on the street is that Kaylyn likes Jaris, too.”
Ethel shook her head and grinned. “Where did you hear that, Gretchen Hollingsworth?”
“I have my sources, Your Honor.”
The men started filing into the rows of chairs, taking their seats next to their wives and girlfriends.
Emmett, Cody, and Bryant Stone sat with Amber, who was expecting. Their child was due June of next year. Scott and Eric placed Megan in between them. The two billionaire brothers never looked happier. Nicole sat between her men, Sawyer and Reed. Those cowboys had found their perfect match in Destiny’s newest deputy. Cameron sat with Erica, but Dylan, wearing his ever-present sunglasses, remained standing. Those two men were alike in many ways and not so much in other ways, but it was clear to
Phoebe and the whole town, they belonged with Erica. Jena’s guys, Matt and Sean, walked to her with her mom and little Kimmie. Those five were Destiny’s newest residents, and everyone welcomed them with open arms.
“Hey, sweetheart.” Jason sat down next to her.
“Hi, honey.”
He put his arm around her shoulders. “Big turnout for Lucas, isn’t it?”
“Very big. I’m so proud of him.”
“This might be the biggest audience Mitchell’s band has ever played for,” Jason said. “Look, baby. Here comes both my brothers.”
She watched Mitchell and Lucas leave the stage and head straight for her. God, this was her dream. She’d walked away from them three years ago like a fool, but thank God the love her men had for her was stronger than she’d ever imagined. Her heart belonged to them completely.
“Honey, the band is going to play a new song,” Mitchell told her. “It’s one I wrote for you, and it is our sound.”
“Shouldn’t you have written one for me?” Lucas winked at her. “This is my day, baby. Right?”
“Yes, it is,” Mitchell said. “We are all proud of you, bro.”
