“Do I belong to you?” Eris asked intrigued.

“You will,” I replied.

“I see,” she said amused. “Last time I checked, I don’t belong to anyone, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Lucien,” she said with a smile.

“The pleasure is all mine.”

“Okay!” I said breaking up whatever was going on.

“You are jealous! Who would have thought this was all it took?” Eris said with a chuckle.

“Yeah, well, like I said, I can see a path to happiness, and I’m willing to do what it takes to defend it.”

“I like this new you,” Eris said pleased. “And, if things don’t work out between the two of us, maybe the three of us should give it a try.”

“Enough!” I said fighting back my anger.

Eris laughed.

“Remy, relax,” Lucien said. “I am just very happy to meet the woman my favorite cousin will be spending the rest of his life with.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you are.”

“I am,” he said innocently.

“Anyway,” I said changing the topic. “I invited Lucien here today because he had an idea.”

“Yes,” Lucien said taking over. “I was thinking, since Remy will only be getting married once, I would like to throw him a party.”

“You mean a bachelor party?” Eris asked.

“Well, yes. But also something more formal. Something where our two families could get to know each other better.”

“Like an engagement party?” Eris confirmed.

“Yes! How do you say? An engagement party.”

Eris looked at me. “And you’re okay with this?”

“This is not my idea.”

Eris squinted as she stared at me.

“Do you think your family would come?”

“Do you mean considering your father shot my brother’s boyfriend and then crashed my father’s funeral?”

“What is this?” Lucien asked. “Crashed your father’s…”

“It’s nothing,” Eris dismissed. “Water under the bridge. This is about starting our new lives together. A fresh start.”

“Yes, a fresh start,” Lucien said enthusiastically.

“What do you think, Remy? Would your family come?”

“Would we have a choice?”

“Of course. An engagement party would be about celebration. If you truly see a path to happiness, I think this is a step on it.”
