Oh, thank God, a distraction.

“Please, not a home birth,” Hunter moaned.

“I’m still months away,” Oliva snapped. “And gross. You wouldn’t be invited.”

Emma sniggered.

Fletcher shook his head at his brother. “Idiot. No, we invited you all here this weekend under false pretenses.”

Er, what?

Everyone went quiet and glanced at each other.

“We’re getting married!” Olivia cheered.

“Babe, we had a whole speech.”

“No,youhad a speech!” she said as Addison and Harper shot up in their seats, looking both delighted and shocked.

“But, but, but...Oh my God. What about...,” Harper began, and Emma started to laugh along with Olivia. They both knew she was Miss Organized, and right now, her mind was turning in circles. “Dress. Flowers. Table thingies.”

Harper continued, waving her hands around, while Olivia grinned at her.

“We’re eloping, Harp. I have a dress. This afternoon and tonight, the wedding teams are setting the house up, and then tomorrow, we will get married.”

Holy shit.

Now Emma really felt like she was invading their family weekend.

“It’s just a small, intimate ceremony,” Fletcher said. “Mom, Dad, Jackson, and Kristen are flying in tomorrow morning for a barbeque lunch. Except it will be our wedding. So, no one say anything.”

Daniel tossed down his napkin. “Good on you. Our wedding was huge and stressful. Do it your way.”

“Seriously?” Harper mumbled.

“Honored to be here,” Logan said. “I’m truly sorry Amelia and Aidan weren’t able to make it now.”

“Me too. We wanted to keep it a secret so no one talked us out of it, so I couldn’t say anything.” Fletcher took Olivia’s hand. “Still, hopefully there will be another family wedding one day soon.”

Everyone glanced at Hunter.

“For the love of God, give us a break.” Hunter rolled his eyes, and Addison laughed.

“He’ll ask me when he is ready,” she said, turning to Emma. “I’ve been married, and once you’ve done it and divorced, the urgency to do it again disappears.”

“Amen.” Logan lifted his coffee cup.

“Iammarrying you. Fuck that. I want to surprise you, but this asshole keeps bringing it up.” Hunter glared at Fletcher, who cursed when he got a kick under the table.

Emma laughed. These men never failed to amuse her. She could see why Harper had fallen in love with Daniel so quickly and moved across the planet. Fletcher adored Olivia, and Addison was perfect for Hunter.

She caught Logan watching her and felt a warmth flow through her. He was so handsome, and the little secret they had felt naughty and taboo.

Talk about an aphrodisiac.

While she was having a great weekend, with this new announcement, Emma felt she had to speak up. Harper hadn’t known when she’d extended the invite, so if they wanted a private wedding, Emma would happily fly home from the Hamptons, leaving them to their special event.

“Guys, now I feel like I’m intruding.” Emma glanced around. “This is an important family moment. I think I should head home.”
