Dylan smirks, leaning back in his chair, the action stretching the white shirt across and defining his muscular chest.
Sky cranes her neck. “Did the photographer finally leave?”
“I think so,” says Liam.
“Awesome! Dylan?” Sky excitedly climbs onto his lap and unbuttons the top of his shirt.
Dylan catches her arm. “Are you sure?”
I prepare to head off and quickly. I didn’t realise Sky isthatdrunk. There’s PDAs and there’s completely inappropriate.
“Yes!” says Sky, “Come on!”
“We should go,” says Liam and I glance at his bemused face.
“No, wait, you have to see this,” says Sky, dragging Dylan’s tie from around his neck.
“I very much doubt I should see this,” replies Liam.
Dylan hooks his fingers through a chain on his neck and pulls it out from beneath his shirt. In the dim light, I can’t make out what’s hanging on the chain. Sky unclasps the necklace and tips the attachments onto her hand.
Rings.
Dylan takes one of them and pushes the ring onto Sky’s finger and she does the same to his. Onto their wedding fingers. Then they put their heads together in a conspiratorial laugh.
“Holy fuck!” says Liam. “Did you get married?”
Sky rests her head on Dylan’s shoulder. “Yep.”
“When?” I ask.
“Last week. Everyone was so focused on your wedding, we thought we’d take advantage of the distraction,” says Dylan
“Why the fuck didn’t you say anything? Where?” continues a stunned Liam.
“Bali. We didn’t want to say anything until after your wedding. We agreed to keep this hidden until tomorrow.” He pulls a stern face at Sky. “We haven’t worn the rings since we returned to the UK in case someone spotted them.”
“I know and it felt wrong not wearing your ring after the months of you whinging about setting a date,” says Sky. “Anyway, you’re usually the one who can’t keep his mouth shut.”
“I kept them close to my heart,” says Dylan and kisses her nose.
“Nobody will see now,” I say, “And I don’t care, I’m happy for you.” I lean down and encompass Sky in another hug.
Then I pick up a glass of champagne and toast Sky as an incredulous Liam grills Dylan. “Who’d have thought? Two Blue Phoenix guys married—their image is shot! Now the fun really starts,” she whispers. “We have to keep them in line.”
I laugh, knowing full well Sky is already adept at keeping Dylan in line—this is the girl who tamed Dylan Morgan.
She tips her head. “Jem’s still with the weird girl.”
I look over to where Jem and Ruby continue an intent conversation, his hands over hers, faces close.
“Looks that way.”
“Does she speak to you much?” Sky asks.
“I’ve only met her a couple of times.”
“I hope he knows what he’s doing,” says Sky quietly, which surprises me because I didn’t think her and Jem were friendly.
