“How?”
“Because he takes care of me.” She nods. “And once he loves you, he’ll take care of you too.”
“What if he doesn’t love me?”
“I’m sure he will,” Steph declares.
“You’re very confident.”
She counts off on her fingers. “You’re pretty, you smell nice and you have kind eyes.”
I chuckle. “Thank you.”
“This man is perfect for you. You just have to get used to his frowny faces. He does that a lot.”
“I’m sure he does,” I say, thinking of Brogan’s scowls.
“So you’ll marry him?”
I smirk. “Well, I’d consider it. I’d have to meet him first.”
“You will? You really will?”
I nod.
“Oh my gosh! I can’t wait to tell Ina I did my first match! She’ll be so excited.”
“Ina?”
“Her friend,” a deep voice says. “And a nurse here.”
I startle and look behind me to find Brogan leaning against the wall. A shiver starts down my spine at the intensity in his blue eyes.
Steph hops up from her seat and goes flying across the room. “Uncle Brogan!”
“Hey, Pumpkin.” He picks her up easily.
She laughs. “I found you a wife.”
“You did?” He pretends to be shocked. “Who?”
Steph points straight at me. “Her.”
My cheeks warm.
I feel like someone threw a spotlight right over my head.
Brogan’s eyes darken.
I can’t tell if he’s annoyed or amused.
Gwen laughs. “I guess we know what Steph wants to be when she grows up.”
“A matchmaker!” She declares. “Like Kayla, Venus and Amina!”
“Who are they?” Gwen asks with a patient smile.
Brogan just shakes his head.
