Page 97 of Falling for Finn

“Not a chance. You’re not getting out of finishing it like you did withHalloweentown.”

“Alright, deal.” I kiss her cold cheek and inhale the sweet smell of her shampoo.

I can’t remember a time I was ever this happy and am so damn grateful to call Oakley my girlfriend, but one day, I plan to make her my wife.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

OAKLEY

SIX MONTHS LATER

I’ve been bouncingin my seat for the past three hours, but I can’t help it.

I’m so damn excited to officially meet my niece and see my sister again. It’s been way too long. Although we FaceTime and text regularly, it’s not the same.

“Babe, you’re shaking the whole plane,” Finn teases as he puts his hand on my knee. “We’re about to land.”

“I should warn you, Auntie Oakley is about to activate. Don’t get in the way of me holding my niece.”

“You’re going to scare that poor child,” he teases.

My jaw drops, and I playfully elbow him. “You’re just mad I introduced you as Uncle Grumpy.”

He rolls his eyes.

We make it to baggage claim, and when I spot Everett, I bolt for him.

“Jesus Christ, you nearly toppled me over.” He wraps an arm around me.

“Aren’t you happy to see me?”

“Of course. You’ve grown since the last time I saw you.”

I smack his chest. “I’m not a child! You’re only a few years older than me, remember?”

“More like seven, but who’s counting?”

Finn catches up to me with our bags. “Don’t worry, I got ’em.”

I smirk, pulling Finn toward me. “Babe, officially meet my brother-in-law, Everett.”

“Nice to meet you, man.”

They shake hands.

Tiernan’s kept the baby on a strict eating and feeding schedule, which means she couldn’t come pick me up. But that’s okay because Everett and Finn can spend some time bonding while we drive to their beach house.

Once Everett parks, I dart out like I’m on fire and rush inside. Tiernan waits for me in the foyer and quickly wraps me in a tight hug.

“Oh my God!” I squeal. “I’ve missed yousomuch!”

“Shh, she’s sleeping,” she whispers.

“Oh, come on, let’s wake her up.”

“Oakley, no. You never wake a sleeping baby.”

I pout with my arms on my hips. “She wants to meet her aunt.”
