“Damn, congratulations, both of you.” Life was pretty freaking perfect. “That’s awesome. I’m happy for you.”

“I can’t wait to plan this wedding!” Bella said.

“No.” Sophie actually held up her hand. “I love you, but no. I am not wearing a cupcake dress and inviting five hundred people. We’re getting married at the harbor in Boston and it’s going to be very chill.”

“Whatever,” Bella said in a singsong voice. It was a tone that worked on me but I doubted would with her sister.

It didn’t seem to matter. My brother and Sophie were gazing into each other’s eyes. Cain cupped her cheek and gave her a soft kiss.

It made me glance back at my wife and daughter. I ran my hand over the soft wispy blond hair on Lucky’s head as she nursed. “Just remember, those belong to Daddy. They’re just on loan to you.”

Bella gave a soft laugh and rolled her eyes at me. “You’re disgusting.”

“Disgustingly in love.”

“Nice save.”

I took a sip of my beer. “I’m all about the save, princess bride. Don’t you know that?”

The look she gave me made my gut clench. The way she looked at me was my everything.

“Yeah,” she said. “I know.”
