“Yes, Amber, it means we can start planning the wedding,” I answered dryly.
“Wait, she knew?” Maci hissed as she tried looking for wherever Amber had been hiding, her eyes widening with shock and betrayal when Amber bounced over to us. “And you didn’t tell me? You bitch.”
Amber just shrugged as she grabbed Maci’s left hand while I explained, “I needed help picking your ring out.”
“Does this mean you already asked her?” another voice asked from behind me.
Maci’s hands smacked against my chest as her parents came into view. “For fucking real. Did everyone know?”
I smiled impishly as her brothers and sisters-in-law came out of hiding and asked, “You mad?”
“Uh, yeah,” she said as she sent her brothers a mock glare. “I can’t believe they all knew before—”
I pulled her into my arms and captured her lips, silencing her words. “Would you have wanted it any other way?
“No,” she admitted as she melted against me, her smile lazy and beautiful as her eyes searched mine. “This is perfect. Everything was perfect, and I can’t wait to marry you.”
“At our house.”
“At our house,” she echoed, a whisper of disbelief coating her voice before her expression shifted to something more serious. “You sure you’re ready for this?”
My chest pitched with amusement. “Maci, I should be asking you that.”
She gently grabbed my hand and placed my palm against her flat stomach. “Are you ready for all of this?”
My heart slammed against my ribs as I studied my hand for what felt like an eternity before I looked into her watery eyes again. “Mace...”
Such a weird thing to feel like you’re falling and on a solid surface. To feel at once insanely happy and fucking terrified. But not one of those nightmares or fears I’d grown up with were present as I watched her and mentally shifted around the plans for our immediate future, all because of what she was telling me with this simple, profound action.
“I want everything with you,” I said honestly. “So long as it’s with you, I’m ready for it all.”
