Now the glare strengthened, and the sparkle stopped. “That’s not funny.”
He laughed anyway. “Well, now I can’t propose to you because if I do, you’ll think that it’s because of Denver and Gunner.”
She sighed and rolled her eyes, obviously giving up on him. He really had to up his game. He did want to marry this woman. “Anyway, why on earth did you tell me that Gunner got married?”
“I don’t know, because he did?”
“But that’s not possible. How did we not hear anything about it?”
“I guess he only told Ryker. Frankie just called me. They are on their way over there and are inviting everyone.”
“Everyone?” he said. While they were doing much better lately, the brothers still tended to argue when they all got together.
“Well, I doubt Denver is coming, but yes, they’re having some impromptu reception. She told us to bring some food.” Bella looked around his kitchen in dismay.
“We can stop at the grocery store and get some potato salad or something.”
She rolled her eyes again. “Fine. I’m going to get Polly dressed in some fun clothes.”
“But he’s married?” He didn’t understand. Who had he married? What was going on? Somebody was punking him, right?
“Kash, are you in some sort of denial? He really got married. Do you really think Frankie would lie to us?”
“But I don’t understand!” Kash cried. “Who did he marry?” He pictured Gunner marrying someone he didn’t know, some marriage of convenience so he could save a herd of goats somewhere in Peru.
Oh no.Suddenly, Kash knew exactly who Gunner had married.
“What is it?” Bella said.
“He married that woman, the sister with the kids. The one that went to school with Tucker.”
Bella scrunched up her face in deep thought. “Nova?”
Kash nodded.
“He married Nova. Gunner didn’t just get a wife. He got three kids too.” He wasn’t sure how to feel about that.
“Maybe,” Bella said. “Let’s not make assumptions just yet. I’m going to get Polly dressed.”
He chased after her. “We should probably bring something more than potato salad if he really got married.”
“I don’t care what you get. What goes with potato salad?” She plucked clothes from Polly’s small closet.
“No, I meant like a gift.”
“Oh, that’s a good idea.” She looked at him, and he could see the wheels turning. “What on earth does someone get Gunner for a gift?”
“I have no idea. Goat grain? Maybe we should focus on what Nova would want.”
Bella nodded. “Okay, I’ll text Frankie in a little bit, though I don’t know if she knows her either. It sounds like the whole thing happened really fast ... I told you we shouldn’t have skipped church on Sunday,” she scolded. “If we hadn’t, we would probably know what was going on.”
“Fine. I’ll never skip church again.”
“Yeah, right.”
“Wait. Colton said thatGunnerskipped church on Sunday.”
Bella shrugged. “Maybe he was on his honeymoon.”
