“I think he’s going to propose to her,” Whitney said.
“Yeah? What makes you think that?”

Everything they did, they went all-out with. From decorations for parties to birthday gifts and even just the food that was available at the—many—family gatherings.
Having grown up in such a small family, it had been a bit overwhelming at first. But, eventually, I started to feel like I fit in. So did Wren and Liam, who’d been brought into the fold as well.
