“This way?” She twists and there’s a pop before confetti bursts out of the package.
She throws her arms in the air to catch the confetti. “Whee! Can we do it again?”
“I’m going to kill Brody,” Damon mutters as he marches off toward his youngest brother who runs away laughing.
I sigh as I watch them. It must be wonderful to be part of such a big family. Soleil rubs her pregnant belly as she watches Brody tease Damon. A growing big family.
I always wanted brothers and sisters. But it wasn’t to be since my mom passed away soon after I was born. I thought Priscilla’s arrival when I was ten was my chance for siblings. Not likely. No way would the step-witch have children and ruin her figure.
I would love to be a part of Damon’s family. Be a part of the family with the man I love? It’s a dream I don’t dare dream. Some people don’t deserve a happily ever after.
Chapter 26
Don’t worry. I have a plan. ~ Message from Daisy on the Winter Falls Facebook page
Love Hill
“I’m the flower girl,” Skye announces from where she stands at the front of the makeshift aisle.
We’re atElectric Vibes,the only bar in Winter Falls, and the place where Damon’s mom is getting married. Daisy wanted a full-on church wedding and Lennon wanted to elope to New Orleans. They compromised and now they’re getting married in the bar Lennon used to run.
“Throw your flowers, Skye,” I urge as she’s supposed to be rehearsing for tomorrow’s wedding.
She tips her basket upside down. “All empty.”
“Can you pretend?”
She nods before skipping, twirling, and hopping down the aisle while pretending to throw flowers. When she reaches the end, she jumps into Damon’s arms where he’s standing next to Lennon as the groom’s best man.
The rest of the wedding party is comprised of Damon’s brothers and their partners. Since Damon doesn’t have a partner, he’s escorting Daisy’s best friend, Mrs. West, down the aisle.
Mrs. West has tried to corner me no less than five times. The last time I ran into the women’s restroom to hide from her Damon was waiting for me when I got out to ask me if I was having tummy problems and needed to go home. Guess I’m doing a spectacular job of living up to my new middle name – Awkward.
The rest of the rehearsal goes off without a hitch. Considering Sage is officiating the ceremony, it’s a miracle. Once we’re finished, we’re off to the brewery next door for the rehearsal dinner.
Naked Falls Brewingis owned by Damon’s fraternal twin brothers, Miller and Elder. They started the brewery as an excuse to move to Winter Falls after they discovered Peace was their half-brother. While they worked up the courage to speak to Peace, they made a big success of their microbrewery.
The inside of the place is amazing with brick walls, exposed ductwork, and an industrial vibe. The wedding party has the entire upstairs reserved.
I hold Skye’s hand as we ascend the stairs behind Damon. I order myself not to watch his ass muscles bunch as he climbs. It doesn’t work. Those muscles are far too fascinating for me to ignore. Especially since I know how they feel.
“Grandma!” Skye shouts when she catches sight of Daisy. I release Skye’s hand and she runs to her.
“How is my favorite granddaughter?”
“I’m a flower girl.”
“Hey! How come Robin isn’t your favorite granddaughter?” Elder asks as he approaches with his baby daughter in his arms.
Damon puffs out his chest. “Probably because I’m her favorite son. Naturally, my daughter is her favorite granddaughter.”
Harmony groans. “Here we go again.”
Elder snorts. “Being the oldest doesn’t make you the favorite.”
“Everyone knows the youngest is always the favorite,” Brody says. “Mom finally stopped trying for perfect when she had me.”
“And I’m your twin, which means we’re perfect together.”
