“Was that your dad or a clone?” Buck whispers when he takes my hands in his.
I shrug as if to say I have no idea what’s happening with him.
Buck leans in and whispers in my ear. “Thank you. For everything.” I follow his gaze out to the crowd and see him nod at six incredibly distinguished-looking men in USMC dress—two of them eyeballing my sisters.
“It was the least I could do,” I whisper back.
Buck laughs. “Knowing those guys, there was nothing easy about getting them all here.”
“I love you, Buck.”
“I love you, too. Never stop surprising me, baby.”
I jump on that thought to deliver one last shocker of the night. “On that note,” I say, rolling up on my toes to whisper in his ear. “You’re going to be a daddy.”
It is no surprise that Buck kisses the fire out of me before we even have the chance to say our vows.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s all the promise I need.
THE END
