Peach looked up at him, and it almost broke his heart to see how much trust there was in her eyes. Not because she wasn’t right to trust him — it just felt like such an honor. To have someone so pure and sweet relying on him so completely. He couldn’t let her down.
“Come on,” he said. “Let’s go fill our bellies with pancakes. And invite your best buddies to the greatest wedding in town.”
“I don’t know…” said Peach, walking quietly behind him, hiding behind her bear as they approached the restaurant.

Daisy and Kiera had both turned up, which was something. Daisy looked right at home in a place like this. Since she’d gotten engaged to Montague, she’d started wearing expensive clothes from a specialist Little boutique partnered up with Daddies Inc. She wore a dress covered in smiling sunflowers today, though she wasn’t smiling herself.
Kiera, a redhead with red freckles and more of a punky look, seemed slightly out of place. The piercings. The blue hair. The green lipstick. It was like she’d teleported here from the 1980s and didn’t quite know what to make of it.
“What’s going on, Daisy?” asked Kiera. “Why are we here? And why’s the dog-phobic dude the one who invited us?”
Peach cast Isaac an apologetic glance, then looked back at her friends. “It’s so good to see you both,” she said, an anxious wobble evident in her voice. “Thank you for coming.”
“I don’t get it,” said Daisy. “I thought you were back in Connecticut. We said goodbye at the airport. Did you come back already? Does this have something to do with that text you sent me, asking for Isaac’s number?” Daisy looked at Isaac now. “Isaac. Is Peach in some kind of trouble?”
Isaac didn’t know Daisy too well, in spite of the fact she was engaged to his best friend and worked in his office. Montague liked to keep Daisy to himself outside of work, which was fair enough given how busy they all were. When Montague managed to get time off, he wanted to spend it with his girl. Isaac got that. But it meant that he only really knew Daisy in a business capacity. And since she was Montague’s PA, not his, he didn’t even know her that well in a business capacity either.
“Everything’s okay, Daisy,” he told her. “Trust me.”
Daisy looked wary. “I’m assuming she sent you an angry message after I gave her your number. She was mad at you for telling her to take Teddy out of the Daddies Inc offices. But—“
“It’s not that,” Isaac told her. As he spoke to Daisy, he could feel Kiera giving him daggers. She was a tough cookie, that one. He had to get this right for Peach’s sake. “Peach and I didn’t get off to the best start,” he said. “It’s true. But… things have developed between us since then. We’ve both been having a lot of strong feelings. Feelings that have been difficult to ignore.”
He looked at Peach, sitting there in that little dress. He pictured the cherry panties on her perfect little pussy. The pussy he’d sucked and tasted this morning, the pussy that had climaxed on the tip of his tongue.
“We’re getting married,” he said, cutting to the chase.
Daisy’s face turned instantly pale. “You’rewhat?”
“Toyou?“ Kiera asked rudely. Clearly, she wasn’t his biggest fan.
“Yes,” Peach said, cutting in. “I’m marrying Isaac. He’s a good man, and we… we… we…”
“We have feelings for one another,” Isaac said, helping her out.
“Yes,” Peach said, smiling gratefully. “We have feelings for one another.”
The pancakes arrived at the table and everyone remained silent, but the moment they had gone, Daisy said: “Why didn’t you tell me something was going on between you? Why didn’t you tell me you never made it back to Connecticut? Why am I only hearing about this now?” Her eyes filled with tears. “I thought we were best friends.”
Kiera huffed. “She thinks she’s too good for us now. With her massive designer teddy bear.”
Alaska the bear was so big that the restaurant had given him a seat of his very own, next to Peach. It had seemed fun to Isaac, like something they could have all laughed about. It wasn’t fair of Kiera to make fun of the bear like that. Just ten minutes ago, Alaska had made Peach so happy.
Suddenly, Daisy leaned forward. “Wait,” she said. “Did Montague know about this?”
“I asked him not to tell you for a day or two,” Isaac told her. “It’s my fault. Things were just moving so fast, and I wanted to be sure—“
“You asked my Daddy to lie to me?”
“Told you he was bad news,” Kiera said with a snort.
Fuck. This wasn’t going well at all. Isaac squeezed Peach’s hand under the table to give her support. She didn’t squeeze back.
“I know this is a lot to take in,” Isaac said. “But Peach and I would really like you to be there. At the wedding. And I’m sure when you see how happy we are—“
“You’re talking about the wedding like it’s about to happen already,” Daisy said, raising an eyebrow. “When is it happening? In a week? In a month? In a year?”
