“You make me sound like a prostitute,” I said as I reached down to pet Lucy’s velvety head. “Did you have fun at Grandma and Grandpa’s house?” I asked.
When my gaze slipped to Junior’s face, I saw a flash of something sweet and soft.
At what?
The mention of his parents becoming grandparents?
Well, he didn’t have to worry about that.
We were definitely going to be getting on that.
Once the cafe had some more staff.
And after he put a ring on my finger.
“Come on,” Junior said as he got up. “Let’s go home. We can clean up tomorrow morning,” he said.
I couldn’t argue with his logic.
Sure, I wanted a ring and vows and babies.
But I was loving things just as they were for a while.

“Whose genius idea was this again?” I asked as I laced up my winter boots. With my fucking suit.
I wasn’t sure why I even needed to wear the suit when I had to put a heavy winter jacket over it.
“Barry’s,” Jackson reminded me with a smirk as he pulled on a beanie.
“And why did I let him decide on where Shale and I were going to get married again?”
“Because Shale melted at the idea,” he reminded me.
Damnit, she had.
Even if I knew her well enough to know she was cursing that sentimentality as she pulled on fleece leggings under her wedding gown.
Getting married in front of this year’s Christmas tree felt like a full-circle moment. But I couldn’t help but wonder how many of our guests—and there were a fuckton of them—were cursing us out right then.
“Hey, we got a fucking amazing, warm, lodge waiting for us once the vows are done,” Jackson said.
He was just like his old man.
Laid-back.
Not much got a rise out of him.
And since I was easy to rile, it was good to have him as my best man to keep me level.
Though, yeah, I had to technically have two best men. ‘Cause Barry would be fucking devastated if he didn’t get the honor too.
“Alright,” Jackson said, nodding. “You ready to make the best decision of your life?” he asked.
Fuck yeah, I was.
The walk was even longer than I remembered through the woods with a fresh four inches of snow crunching under our feet as we went.
