“It was, but we wanted to be the ones who did it,” Linc said.
“Who cares who did it? It’s done. That’s what matters. Right?”
“Of course,” Linc said, still sounding miffed.
“I just wanted everyone to be as happy as we are,” Molly said, kissing his cheek. “You can’t fault me for that, can you?”
“Never, love,” he said, softening a bit.
“I’m sorry to rain on your parade.”
“You’re not sorry. Is she, Elmer?”
“Not even kinda.”
“You’re supposed to be on my side, Daddy.”
“I am, most of the time, but this time, I’m with Linc.”
“Thank you, Elmer.”
“Max isengaged!” Molly said, still in amazement. “We’ve got another wedding to plan!”
A few milesfrom the barn, Max held his new fiancée in bed and whispered with her in the dark about plans and dreams and babies.
“Are you happy?” he asked her.
“So happy,” she said with a giddy-sounding laugh. “I feel so lucky to get to spend my life with you and Caden.”
“I’m so glad you guys love each other.”
“He’s been wonderful to me. So sweet and welcoming.”
“We have my mom to thank for that.”
“She really stepped up for us.”
“She sure did, but then again, she always does.”
“I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful mother-in-law.”
“My sisters-in-law love her.”
“I can see why. She’s the best. She was always so nice to me when we were first dating. I felt so at home at the barn any time I was there.”
“That’s how she is, and she made having ten kids look like no big deal.”
“Ten kids. I just can’t imagine that.”
“How many do you want?”
“One more would work for me.”
“That sounds good to me, too.”
Lexi snuggled in closer to him. “It all sounds good to me.”
“Why don’t you stay tonight?”
