Share Us
I look over at Jen and blink. “What’s happening?”
“You’re officially a Slade,” Jen teases. “He’s trying to marry you off next.”
I felt an involuntary smile come to my lips at being called a Slade, but the marriage part worries me more. “I don’t think I’m ready for that.”
Owen thumps me on the back. “Neither of us were, bro. Welcome to the family.”
Jen casts a glance in my direction, and we exchange a quick smile before she passes me the food. A part of me misses my mom, really wishing she could be here to see this and share it with me. I glance at the people gathered around me at the table, and a strange feeling of togetherness falls over me.
Jen leans in. “I’m really happy I’m sharing this with you.”
“So am I,” I say and kiss her.
For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m home.
