Cole’s grin stretched from ear to ear as he nodded. “Do you even have to ask, beautiful? It’s what I’ve wanted since the first time I laid eyes on you.”
“It’s definitely what I want,” I said. “As a matter of fact, if we’re really going to do this, I don’t see why we can’t all live together. We already know we’re going to get along—and my place is obviously big enough for the three of us.”
Cole looked a little surprised at the suggestion but seemed to warm up to it pretty quickly. “My lease is up in a month. I’d planned on renewing, of course, but… hell, if you’re going to cook breakfast like this more often, I’ll move in tomorrow.”
I laughed and shook my head. “I’m only cooking if you both agree to move in. No more breakfast without our girl.”
Daisy Lynn nibbled at her lip. “I honestly didn’t think you’d be ready to take that step yet, but if you’re sure? I… I would love that. I was already starting to dread the thought of being apart for days at a time.”
“Yeah, no.” I shook my head. “I don’t want you to be gone for days. Or hours. Or minutes. I want you right here with us.”
“This is the only place I want to be,” she said, her eyes bright with emotion. “I can’t believe how perfectly this is all working out.”
“And this is just the beginning, babe,” I said. “I really feel like we have something amazing here. Something I never would have believed if it hadn’t happened to me. I never even would have dreamed it.”
“And we want to make sure you’re happy every step of the way,” Cole added. “Anything you want or need—all you have to do is let us know.”
“You both make me happy,” she purred, getting up out of her chair to give me a hug and a kiss before walking over to do the same for Cole. “The only thing I need is to be with the two of you.”
I smiled and nodded, feeling more than a little emotional myself. “Then you’re in luck, baby. Because we’re yours. And we aren’t going anywhere.”
“That’s right.” Cole nodded. “You’re stuck with us now.”
“Perfect,” she answered, smiling beautifully. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Thank God.
Because now that we were finally, officially together?
I didn’t want us to ever be apart again.
Chapter 18
Daisy Lynn
After the night and morning I’d just spent with my guys, I was certain nothing in the entire world could wipe the smile off my face. My cheeks were hurting from all the non-stop smiling I’d done through breakfast, but I didn’t mind. It was the best sort of pain.
I still could hardly believe this was real life. We were going to be together. It was crazy and amazing and wonderful, and I couldn’t wait to get back to Triple J and tell the girls.
And then the call came in.
I hadn’t realized how serious it was at first—Prescott’s expressions were always difficult to read, even on the best of days, and he stayed perfectly still and quiet for several seconds even after the call had ended.
“Everything okay, buddy?” Cole asked, a crease forming in his brow as his own smile slipped for the first time all morning. “Who was that?”
“Doc Thompson, from the hospital,” Prescott said, taking a deep, ragged breath.
I looked back and forth between the two men. I vaguely remembered the doctor they were talking about from my stay in the hospital, but I still couldn’t figure out why he’d be calling Prescott.
“Was it… something to do with me?” I asked, trying and failing to keep from jumping to conclusions. “Was it those tests they ran on my head?”
“No, sweetheart.” Prescott leaned over from his chair and kissed me on the forehead. “Thank God it has nothing to do with you or those tests. I don’t even want to think of something like that.”
Okay.
O-kay.
Now that I knew it wasn’t about me, I could actually start breathing again. But if not me, then… who?
