“Let them try,” Emma challenged, poking her tongue out at Logan. Who snapped at her with his teeth.
Lily tuned out of the conversation, chewing her lip and playing with the butterfly charm on her necklace, as Amelia’s words sunk in.
Aidan would soon be Emma’s brother-in-law.
Which meant if she let anything more happen between her and Aidan, it would always hang awkwardly between them.

When Emma had children. At anniversaries where she and Aidan would both attend. Single or one of them shacked up.
