Ford just chuckles and then pulls Cash’s seat out, straddling his lap and kissing him on the mouth sloppily.
Cash’s hands go around his waist, and I watch them with hooded eyes until they finally pull away.
“And now look at us,” Ford says, his eyes flicking to me. “The three of us.”
I swallow and turn my gaze back to the photos before me.
“I wish I could have known her. I feel like she would be able to tell me what to do about you two.”
Cash reaches out and cups the nape of my neck.
“No one needs to tell you what to do. You do what you feel is right.”
“And what’s right is us,” Ford chimes in.
A smile cracks my lips, and I sigh, putting the pictures back and closing the lid.
“Yeah, it feels right,” I say, and Cash and Ford both grin.
“Want me to show you something?” Ford asks, and I nod, letting him lead me outside. The air is cool and crisp, stinging my cheeks.
They each take one of my hands and pull me forward to the far end of the yard.
“What is it?” I ask, and Ford gestures toward a large tree.
I stare at it, confusion in my gaze.
“Your mom would make the best apple pie. I planted this for her. It’s an apple tree,” Ford says, and I feel my eyes sting.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, I have the recipe in the house somewhere. One day, I’ll make it for you.”
Cash squeezes my hand, and I gulp back tears. “My dad has a lavender bush at his place for her. Says that it was her favorite flower.”
“It was,” Cash says.
“I feel like I don’t know her. I feel like I was robbed.”
“I know, Benjamin. But we can tell you whatever you want to know. We knew her.”
Ford nods and then leans down, kissing me gently. “She would have been so happy that we found you.”
They pull me into them, and I sag against their strong chests, inhaling them. Would she be upset that I’m with them right now? I don’t know, but they seem to think she wouldn’t. They clearly loved her. They knew her.
Maybe Cash is right, maybe my dad won’t be so upset if he finds out. He knows how much they loved my mom and how much they love…
I gulp that thought back and shake my head. No, that’s not what this is.
Right?
“Yeah, okay, I think I’m gonna take a shower and take this plug out…”
“We’re coming with you,” Ford says, tugging me toward the house and then down the hall to the bathroom, Cash on our heels. I let out a laugh as he pulls me into him, kissing me wildly, his hand snaking down to press against the plug.
Oh god, I’m so full, so fucking stuffed.
“Alright, let him breathe, Ford,” Cash says, and I whimper when his lips finally peel off of mine.
