Though it looked like Aero had been thinking about this for a bit since he already had a ring.

Aero shook his head. “Babe, I couldn’t care less about the fucking camera crew. I’ve been waiting for the right moment to ask you to be mine, and here it is.” He held the ring out to her. “Sloane Kristen McDare, will you marry me?”

Oh my god!Could that have been more perfect?

“Aero,” Sloane whispered. “If I say yes, then there is no going back. You’re gonna have to marry me.”

“Kind of the point of me asking you, babe,” he chuckled.

Sloane catapulted herself out of her chair and slammed into Aero. He managed to wrap one arm around her, and they fell back.

“Yes!” Sloane shouted from the floor. “Yes, a million times over.”

I sighed heavily and sank back into my chair. “Thank god,” I whispered.

“Marriage?” Throttle asked. “That was what you were afraid to say?”

I brushed my hair out of my face. “Uh, yeah. It’s a great idea, but I didn’t want to force them into anything.”

“Aero loves her more than his next breath, doll. The same goes for her. I hear all of the time they’re like those books she reads.”

I smiled softly. “Yeah, they really are like a romance novel.”

“I have to call Winter,” Sloane hollered. “Like, right now. I have to tell her everything.” Sloane scrambled off the floor and shoved the ring on her finger.

“That the author she’s friends with?” Throttle asked.

I nodded. “The one and only. I swear she is going to write a book about Aero and Sloane.”

“Odd,” Throttle mumbled.

It was, but it was also sweet.

There weren’t many real-life love stories that could rival a romance novel. Sloane was lucky to have found Aero, and the whole world needed to know just how great they were together.

“Hold up,” Yarder called. “Before you go running out of here, we gotta talk. I’m picking up what you are laying down, but let me just hear it straight.”

Throttle elbowed me. “This is your show, doll.”

“Oh, uh.” I cleared my throat and sat forward. “It’s pretty simple. Aero and Sloane are going to run off to get married.”

“You’re coming with,” Sloane interrupted. “It was your idea, and I can’t get married without my best friend as my bridesmaid.”

“Uh, well,” I stammered. That had kind of been the plan, but honestly, I was still shocked that Aero and Sloane had just gotten engaged.

“You and Throttle go with them. It will be more believable if you two go with it. Witnesses and all that shit,” Yarder agreed.

“Okay,” I drawled.

“That’s gonna take like two days, maybe three, tops,” Fade pointed out. “You really think that is going to give us enough time to figure out who blew up the gym and the car crashing into the clubhouse?”

“Honeymoon,” I blurted. “We could take off to Vegas or some other place that could be considered a vacation spot and spend a week or so there.” Or longer. If we drove wherever we were going, that would take more time, too. “The mountains are pretty this time of year.”

“Golden, Colorado,” Dad called. “I used to go there with your mother all of the time. It’s outside of Denver and in a valley of the Rocky Mountains.”

“Uh, well, that would work.” Mom loved those trips with Dad. They went there before Dad became obsessed with politics and climbing the ladder.

“This is good,” Yarder pondered out loud. “This could work.”
