I cut off the call and grab my keys and wallet, deciding that hanging out with the guys will at least stop me from doing something stupid like chasing down June.
Wolfe’s family has always owned the property next to my family’s, and after his parents passed away, he inherited it. He tore down the old house and built a freaking sweet garage in the style of a barndominium, which seems to be all the rustic rage these days. The garage has ten bays—one for each of Wolfe’s fancy cars with the others housing the cars he’s working on but won’t take to his commercial garage in town.
After he moved in with my sister at the lighthouse, he converted the loft above the garage into a sort of man cave. There are pool and air hockey tables, a flat screen spot to watch the games, and a full bar. It’s become our official hangout spot when we want to get away from the girls.
Luna made a joke about hanging aBoys Onlysign on the door, so he did. She rolled her eyes when she saw it, but I know that she thought it was funny.
The bays are closed when I pull up, so I park next to Tanner’s SUV, head inside without knocking, and walk straight up the stairs that lead to the converted loft.
“Hey,” Wolfe says with a grin. “Tanner just arrived with the pizza.”
“Nice. I love it when I have good timing.”
“Are you up here?” Zeke calls out below.
“Follow the scent of pizza,” Tanner suggests, and I’m surprised to see Indigo Lovejoy walk in behind Zeke.
“I brought a friend. He deserves beer and pizza after everything that I put him through.”
“I’ve had worse,” Indigo replies with a grin, and reaches for the offered beer Tanner holds out to him. “But I won’t pass this up.”
“Welcome,” Wolfe says and gestures to the food and the whole space. “Make yourself at home. Cullen and Scott are coming over, too.”
“What’s the occasion?” I tip my bottle up and take a sip of beer. “This is a bona fide party.”
“Bachelor party,” Wolfe admits with a grin. “Luna and I decided we’re sick of waiting for a good time to get married, and we’re going to do it during the Christmas party at the inn next week.”
The room goes quiet. My jaw drops. Then we’re all congratulating him at once.
“Luna is still getting her big wedding,” he continues. “Most of the town plans to be there anyway, and her parents will still be in town.”
“They get here tomorrow,” I confirm. “I spoke with Dad today. They’re excited to stay at the inn.”
“Luna’s so fucking nervous. She wants them to love it. I told her it’s going to be great and there’s nothing to worry about, but she doesn’t listen to me.”
“She never has,” I reply with a chuckle. “That’s awesome. I’m excited for you guys.”
“What about you and Sarah?” Indigo asks, turning to Tanner. “You set a date yet?”
“Sometime next summer,” Tanner replies as we hear more voices on the stairs. “I’ll help where she wants me to, but for the most part, I’m leaving it all up to her. This is her vision, and I’m happy to let her have it.”
“Smart man,” Indigo replies with a laugh. “Hey, Cullen. Scott.”
“Were you just talking about my sister?” Scott asks. “She’s already asked me to give her away at your wedding, so I think she’s planning more than you realize.”
“Of course, she is,” Tanner says with a smile. “Must be a woman thing.”
After Cullen puts the beer he brought into the fridge, he grabs a slice of pizza, joining the party.
“So what happened today?” I ask Zeke as we wander over to the pool table. When he stares at me blankly, I clarify, “With you and Indigo. You said you felt sorry for him.”
“Oh, that.” Zeke laughs and bites into his slice. “I need him to find me a new place to live, and I’m fucking picky.”
“I’ve dealt with worse,” Indigo says again.
“Why are you moving?” Scott wants to know. “Those condos you live in aresick.”
“Yeah, I know, but my neighbor is a goddamn pain in my ass. It’s time I move before I kill her and spend the rest of my life in jail.”
