I squeeze her hand. "We know that. But we also know that Crew is a part of this, and without him it wouldn’t have ever felt complete."
She nods. "Thank you for understanding that."
"Well." I pause, then say, "You’re not the only one who loves him."
Her smile is bright. "I love you so much, Nathan Armstrong."
"I love you too. Even though you made me into a soft, mushy, emotional mess."
Michael laughs. "This is a soft, mushy, emotional mess?"
I shrug. "Compared to where I started? Yes."
Danielle lifts up on tiptoe and presses a kiss to my cheek. Then she smiles up at Michael. "Just wait until we have a little baby in this house. I think we’re going to see a lot of soft and mushy Daddy Nathan."
Michael groans. "You mean permissive Daddy Nathan who can’t say no to a single pouty lip? I’m afraid you’re right."
I laugh. "Is that why I’m excited about the corndogs and winning a stuffed animal at the ring toss? This is my way of nesting?"
Danielle‘s eyes are sparkling. "Oh, I hope so."
I swat her ass. "Look what you’ve done to me."
She beams. "By the way, Crew promised me a naughty ride on the Ferris wheel, but I expect both of you to take me on that ride as well."
Michael leans in and captures her lips, clearly not caring about her lipstick. Then he says against her mouth, "Oh, we’re going to be taking you on a ride later, Mrs. Armstrong."
A little shiver goes through her and I feel heat tighten my lower body as well. It always does when someone calls her Mrs. Armstrong.
Even if we are minutes away from marrying her off to another man.
Michael straightens and glances at me then he shakes his head. "No."
"What?" I ask.
"Whatever you’re thinking. I know that look. Dani has a date with Crew downstairs. With our entire family, your hockey team, and our whole neighborhood waiting."
But I look at my wife. "I’ll hold that thought till tonight."
She giggles. "But it’s my wedding night."
I nod. "Yes, it sure fucking is."
CHAPTER 22
Crew
It’s all absolutely perfect.
And I don’t mean the Ferris wheel, the taco truck, or the hot air balloons that Dani and I are heading for at this very moment.
No, it’s the woman next to me and the reason we’re here.
Dani’s hand is tucked in mine. She keeps looking up at me with the sweetest, most loving look on her face, and she fucking smells like cotton candy.
When I met her at the bottom of the stairs, flanked on both sides by Nathan and Michael, I swear I almost cried.
She’s so fucking beautiful.
