“No.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Fuck, man. That hurts. Why is she pretending she doesn’t?”
“She’s not pretending anymore. She just hasn’t actually said it to me.”
“Do you know why?”
“If I did, we wouldn’t be talking about it right now.”
“Do you have any idea why she’s holding back?”
“I thought it was because she hadn’t forgiven me, but I know she has.”
“Ah.”
He knew about what happened. I told him a few months ago.
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
“Don’t I know it.”
“Hallie will be here before you know it. I’m sure that’ll help.”
“You see, that’s the problem. I want us to be married before she’s born.”
“She doesn’t want to marry you?”
“She hasn’t said.”
“You could always make her.”
“No, I don’t kidnap women like you do.”
“Woman.” He raised his finger. “It’s only been one, and now I’m engaged to her.”
If I thought my relationship with Hazel was a whirlwind, it didn’t hold a candle to their story. She was his perfect enemy turned lover, and now they were getting married.
“I’m sure it’ll work itself out. Maybe just give it some more time.”
“I’ve given it almost eleven years. How much more time does she need?”
“Women are fickle beings. Not to mention, a huge pain in the ass.”
“I’m at a loss. I don’t know what else I could do, and you’re right, Hallie will be here sooner than we realize, and I don’t want her to be born without us being married.”
“You always were a sappy bastard.”
I grinned. “This coming from a man who’s engaged to a woman half his age.”
“Do as I say, not as I do. Besides, I had to lock that shit down. You see Cove. She’s fucking gorgeous. What my girl wants, my girl gets, and for some reason, she loves my ass.”
“Yeah, her taste is definitely questionable, along with her sanity.”
“You’re one to talk. Have you taken a good look at yourself in the mirror? Pot, meet kettle. Your baby momma is literally a mogul who got knocked up by a cowboy. Now that’s two ends of the spectrum if I’ve ever seen one.”
I was about to open my mouth to reply, but I overheard Hazel shout, “What the hell are you doing here?”
I snapped around, imagining it was Johnathan.
