“Don’t worry,” her sister admitted. “Van snuck in a ham, andI’m pretty sure Stella puts bacon in everything. I mean everything. Hey, Icaught sight of those two cowboys Max is complaining about earlier. I don’twant to give him credit, but those two boys are trouble. I’m not sure ifthey’re in trouble, but they absolutelyaretrouble.” She winced. “IfI had to bet, though, I’d definitely say they’re in trouble, too.”
“Well, isn’t this kind of the place to be then?” Wyattleaned over and kissed her cheek, winking her sister’s way. “Isn’t Bliss wherewe all go when we need a place to hide and then, oops we’re getting married andhaving kids and suddenly we’re old and getting our balls snipped.”
Sabrina had to laugh. “I think I’ll likely be using yourballs before we let doc give you a snip. We’re a couple of years away. Though Iprobably won’t be making any babies until I’m married.”
Wyatt’s lips curled up in the sweetest smile. “Well, it isChristmas. It’s the season of miracles.” He frowned. “Not that getting marriedwould take a miracle. It’s the over-the-top romantic proposal I’m talkingabout. But I’m working on it.”
She knew damn well he was working on it. Bliss wasn’t aplace where secrets got kept. Well, except for the whole Henry Flanders was aformer CIA operative, and they’d only managed to keep the secret for a coupleof years. The fact that Wyatt and Sawyer were planning on making the grandreopening of Hell on Wheels super special hadn’t gotten past her.
Her men were going to ask her to marry them, and she wasgoing to say yes.
“Hey, we’re heading to River and Jax’s place after dinnerfor the after party,” Wyatt announced with a smile. “That’s a party after theparty. Doesn’t it sound like fun? If I can get Buster to stop sniffing aroundBella.” He got an outraged dog-dad expression on his face. “Jax, your dog isfixed, right?”
Callie stepped in, looking over to where Sawyer sat withMichael. “They are so quiet. It’s like they’re trying to prove who bestresembles a statue. And I think they’re happy. Sawyer even gave me a nod as Iwalked by.”
Yup, her guy made big impressions.
“Mom, Zander says Santa is an alien from outer space,” Paigeannounced.
“Oh, Dad is handling this one.” Elisa shook her head. “He isa menace. You relax. You’re not working tonight. I’ll snag us a table, and wecan enjoy the chaos. Max and Rye’s sister walked in a few minutes ago, andShane and Bay are watching her like hawks with a particularly sweet rabbit. Maxis going to lose more than his balls when he figures out they’re into hissister.”
It sounded like a perfect way to spend the night.
She glanced out, and the snow had started to fall as theyannounced dinner was ready and everyone got to moving.
Sawyer came over and slipped an arm around her waist. “I hadthe best time with Michael. I like that dude. Lucy chose well. I mean she alsochose Ty, but she’s got a real winner in Michael.”
“You didn’t say more than two words to each other,” shepointed out as Wyatt joined them.
Sawyer gave her a satisfied smile. “I know. It waswonderful. We’re going to not talk at the after party, too. I’m thinking aboutinviting him over. He might be soothing to have around while I work on the newtables. Wyatt’s always asking questions.”
Wyatt groaned. “Because I’m a normal, curious human being.Unlike you, weirdo.”
“Hey, are you looking at my sister?” Max Harper said fromacross the room.
Sabrina took her seat, happily in between her men.
It was going to be a fun holiday season.
