“We’re actually going on another trip.”
She pulled the white sheet up her to cover her breasts as she sat on her knees in front of me.
“Darlin’, you don’t have to cover yourself. I’ve seen them.”
She blushed. “Where are we going?”
“To Kentucky.”
“Wait? What?”
“It’s my grandfather’s ninetieth birthday. I’m taking you home to meet my family, Evie.”
Her eyes widened as she jerked back.
Sweeping her hair away from her face, I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand.
“Are you serious?”
“Mmm hmm.”
“I’m going to meet your parents?”
“We’re staying at my childhood home. My mother wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Oh my God!” She playfully slapped my chest. “How could you wait this long to tell me? You’ve never talked about your family, and now you want me to meet them? What if they don’t like me?”
“They’re going to love you as much as I do.”
Her expression quickly turned apprehensive.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. What are you going to tell them?”
“About what?”
“Caleb…” she coaxed. “You know what I mean! Like, how are you introducing me?”
I arched an eyebrow. “How would you like to be introduced?”
“Umm… I’m not sure. I don’t want to confuse the kids.”
“So we’ll tell them first.”
“Tell them what?”
“That we’re getting married.”
She jumped off the bed, taking the sheet with her. “What?!” she shouted, completely caught off guard.
“You heard me.”
“I heard you, but what the hell? How did we go from hanging out and getting along to walking down the aisle?”
“Darlin’—”
“No!” She put her hand up in the air. “Don’t darlin’ me. You’re not sweet talking your way out of this one, buddy. Besides, when did you propose? Did I black out and miss that?”
