“She’s cute,” Simon said. “I foresee a one-night stand in the making.” He chuckled.

“You’re probably right.” I laughed.

“Cake?” A server walked over with plates of cake on a silver tray.

“Hell yeah.” Conner grinned as she handed him and all of us a piece. “Ewe, what the fuck?” What is this?”

“I do believe this is carrot cake,” I said. “It’s good.”

“Who has carrot cake at their wedding?” Conner frowned as he set his plate down on the bar. “I hate carrot cake.”

“See, this is why my mother should have gotten married in L.A. Gwen could have made the cake and made us all happy. Yuck.” Simon set down his plate, and we all laughed.

Aunt Barb walked over.

“You all look so handsome. Are you having fun?” She smiled.

“Mom, seriously, what is with this cake?” Simon asked.

“What’s wrong with it? It’s delicious.”

“No, Aunt Barb. Just no.” Conner shook his head.

“What he’s trying to say is, what were you thinking having carrot cake?” Simon asked.

“Curtis loves carrot cake. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.”

“I’m not,” Simon said.

Aunt Barb let out a sigh as she patted Simon’s chest. “I love you, but you are really good at testing my patience.” She walked away, and we all laughed.

“Is she serious? That woman has been testing my patience since I was a kid.”

A slow song came on when we finished our drinks, and we all grabbed our women and danced.

“Are you having a good time?” I smiled as I held Ava close to me.

“The best time ever.” Her lips met mine.

I glanced over and saw Gabriel dancing with that girl.

“Looks like your brother is having a good time as well.” Ava smirked.

“Yeah.” I smiled. “He just needs to find someone he can love the way I love you.”

“He will someday.” The corners of her mouth curved upward.

“I hope so. He deserves to be as happy as I am.”

“I love dancing with you,” she said. “But I love something even more, and I’m ready to head back to the room if you are.”

“Say no more.” I swooped down and picked her up.

“What are you doing?” She laughed.

“Taking you back to the room.” I grinned.

“Hey, where are you going?” Conner shouted.
