I nod, because I know she's right. If James wanted to give everything up, then he would have done it by now.
"Just me, you, Betty, and the open road." The tension begins to ebb away. "Fuck, K. I want it so bad."
"Tomorrow," she promises, making my lips pull up into a smile.
"Tomorrow." Threading my fingers into her hair, I crush her lips to mine, desperate to taste her. I sweep my tongue into her mouth and take what I need, what I've been craving since she walked away from me this morning to go and get ready with the girls.
"K?" I breathe when I let her pull back.
"Yeah?"
"The next time you walk down the aisle toward me, you're going to be the one wearing a white dress."
“You need to tell them,” Kenny whispers as I climb out of Betty after putting the last of our things inside.
“I know, I just…”
“It will be fine, Con. It’s not like we’re going forever. Unless you’ve changed your mind. You know I’m happy with whatever.”
“No, we’re doing this. We need this.”
She smiles up at me, running her hands up my chest and hooking them around my neck. “I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited.”
“Me either. I’m just worried
about Cole,” I admit.
“He’s got Hadley, Ace and Remi. He’ll be fine. We’ve all got cell phones; you can video call every day if you need to.”
I know all of this, I do, but it still doesn’t stop me worrying. If something happens and he falls over the edge again, I’d never forgive myself for not being here. Not being at his side.
“It’s time, Con. This is about you now. About us.”
“It is.” My expression softens. “At last.”
Voices float down to us and my stomach turns over.
“It’s going to be okay,” K says again as I swallow loudly.
“Are you all ready to set off?” Ace asks when the four of them appear from the side of the house.
“Yep, we’re all set,” Kenny says for me, squeezing my hand in encouragement as I lock eyes with Cole.
Something zaps between us, that twin connection we have, and I wonder if he already knows.
“B-before we go, I need to tell you all something,” I say, swallowing down my nerves and pulling K into my side.
“Oh my God, are you pregnant?” Remi squeals.
“W-what? N-no. Wait…” I say looking down to K. “We’re not, right?”
“No, Con,” she says with a laugh, tapping my chest in amusement.
“Okay, good. Phew.”
“What is it?” Hadley asks, her soft voice giving me some confidence.
“Um… that acceptance I got from Colton U…” I start as Cole’s eyes narrow in confusion.
