Page 40 of Wed to You

Jagger studied Kaden a moment and apparently decided that was all that needed to be said. He lifted his hand for a high-five, and said, “Let’s go ride some coasters.”

“Yay!” Kaden jumped off the stump.

“What about you?” Jagger turned his attention back to her. “Are you okay with this?”

She knew he was letting her know it was time to play their parts. Going to the rides meant being in public; they’d need to act like a couple. An engaged couple.

She swallowed the lump of worry in her throat and nodded.

“Come on.” Kaden took Jagger’s hand on his left and Chelsea’s on his right.

“By the way, can you come to dinner tonight? I’d like you to be there when I tell Mrs. Stanton and the rest of my staff,” Jagger whispered over Kaden’s head as they walked back toward the fair.

“Can you come to dinner?” Kaden’s blue eyes shone at her.

She smiled. “Yes.”

“Yay!”
