Page 102 of Unstoppable Love

I tossed him in the air and caught him before giving him a quick hug. “Thanks, little man. You watch the whole thing?”

“Until they made you leave, yeah.” He pouted and kicked his feet, so I set him on the ground. As soon as he was there, he was reaching back for my hand, pulling me right into the house with him. “Come play catch with me!”

Ava had no choice but to follow, and I glanced back at her to find her grinning down at Landon before meeting my gaze.

“That pout he makes is exactly like the one you had in the truck,” she said, laughing and not bothering to hide it.

“Don’t be a brat.”

She shrugged and headed straight past Landon and I toward the kitchen. “Takes one to know one.”

“Takes one to know one, what?” Emily asked, slipping off a kitchen stool.

“Cameron was pouting, and he looked just like Landon.”

“Ah, Landon does have that look, doesn’t he?” she said, knowingly.

“So glad I could show up to get made fun of,” Cam said.

I glanced at Emily.

She grinned at me.

We both burst out laughing.

“What?” Cameron asked.

“You’re pouting!” Emily shouted, pointing at him, and we both doubled over in laughter.

He was. He truly was.

He smacked my behind enough to leave a sting and kept on following Landon out to the living room. “You’re in trouble, Sunshine. Keep it up, and I’ll show you who’s better at pouting.”

“Oh my god,” Caleb muttered, walking into the room with his hands slapped over his ears. “Please tell me that threat did not mean what I think it meant, because I do not need to hear about little Ava Decker being forced to pout.”

Emily tugged his hand off his ear. “She’s also not little.”

“Apologies, wife.” He kissed her temple, gave her a look that was more scorching than pouty, and then came and gave me a hug.

“How are you? Enjoy the game?”

“It was fantastic. What’s for dinner? It smells incredible.”

“It’s garlic from the sheet pans of vegetables I’m roasting in the oven. Caleb has some steaks ready for the grill, but we didn’t want to put them on until you got here.”

“Oh my god. That sounds delicious. Thanks for inviting us over.”

“Needed the break for sustenance?” Emily teased.

Caleb made a vomiting sound and quickly left the room. “I hate you both.”

“Now that the men have been successfully cleared, can I get you something to drink?”

A glass of red wine would go great with dinner, but since it also made me tired and I had more exciting plans ahead for the night… “Water, please.”

She filled a glass from the fridge’s door and grabbed her own from the counter. “Come on. It’s gorgeous outside. Let’s go sit out there. I have no doubt Landon will have both guys tossing him a ball out there any second, and while that means dinner will be delayed a bit, I can never stop them.”

“Catching up for lost time?” I asked.
