“That sounds wonderful. I have nothing planned for today.”
It was Sunday, and usually our weekends were packed full of soccer practices and catching up with friends. Thea was a regular visitor to our house, but I hadn’t seen her in over a week.
“No plans to catch up with Thea later?”
“Nope. She went with William on some business trip. Which is odd because she hates them.”
Her nose was still buried in my neck, and her lips brushed my skin with every word, making me shiver.
“How’s Archer doing?”
Everleigh tensed, and I regretted asking. Gunner found her brother six months ago but wouldn’t tell us any details. Locked Security’s resources combined with my contacts eventually dug up a trail. And somehow Archer ended up working for him. Everleigh had only seen him twice since he came back. I knew the distance he put between them weighed on her, but she was also trying to give him space.
“He seemed okay when I talked to him last week. Said Gunner is sending him on his first mission.”
I rolled over, bracketing Everleigh between my arms.Time to erase that forlorn look on her face.“What do you want for breakfast?”
“Breakfast burrito,” she murmured and nipped my ear, her body going soft again.
Footsteps sounded in the hallway, and with a groan, I slid off her, adjusting myself. Everleigh pulled down her top, shooting me a grin. Two seconds later, the door sprang open, and the other love of my life appeared, hair standing up in a wild rat’s nest, her pajama pants twisted.
I opened my arms, and she climbed over me, settling between Everleigh and me. Everleigh turned on her side and put her arm over my daughter. I didn’t think I’d ever have so many perfect mornings. But every day was a gift, and I intended to appreciate each moment.
Which was why I’d take my girls out on the boat today and finally ask Everleigh to become my wife.
