“Here, the weekend. Beaumont, forever.”
Mack’s face lights up and it’s the best damn sight I have ever seen.
“Amelie?”
I motion toward the house. “She’s upstairs with all the girls, probably getting pampered.”
“No doubt,” he says laughing.
Noah comes over. We hug for a long time. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t there,” I say in reference to missing the most important game of Noah’s life.
“It’s okay,” he says. “I’ll go again, and you will be.”
“That’s what I want to hear.”
“Mr. Nick?”
I turn at the sound of Talisa calling my name. She trudges toward us through the sand.
“You brought Talisa?” Mack asks.
“I did. She’s going to live with us and help me out.”
“Awesome.” Mack walks toward her and hugs her without warning. The look on Talisa’s face is one of shock and a little bit of adoration. Noah and I walk toward them.
“Talisa, this is my stepson, Noah.”
“It’s very nice to meet you, Mr. Noah. Are you the rugby player?”
Noah laughs. “American football,” he tells her.
I put my arms around my boys and walk them back toward the house. We’re almost there when a giant fluff ball tackles Mack to the ground.
“Beau,” Noah says. “He’s really well behaved except for when he’s with Mack. They’re inseparable.”
“So, I’ve seen.”
When Mack gets Beau under control, I look at my sons. I’m so damn proud of them. But it’s Mack who has my attention.
“So, about that kiss . . .”
