“It’sTucker,” Phoebe said again, as if emphasizing his name was all the explanation needed.

And it was.

“You realize I’m your husband right? The man you love and want more than any other? The one who has made you blissfully happy?”

Phoebe smiled and patted his cheek. “Of course you are.”

Joe narrowed his eyes and started to grab for her. Not because he was actually worried about Tucker, or any other guy, but because it was so fun making her sayhisname over and over again in that breathless, pleading way she did when he—

Phoebe’s phone rang.

Then his rang.

Damn.

They reached for their phones at the same time.

“Hailey,” he said, reading his display.

“Tucker,” Phoebe said with a frown.

“Hello?” they asked simultaneously.

“Joe, put me on speaker,” Hailey said.

What had Levi done? Joe pressed the button for the speaker phone. “Okay.”

“Tucker is here with me.”

Phoebe pushed her speaker button too and laid her phone on the comforter beside Joe’s. “What’s going on?”

“Well, about this gorgeous blonde in the red dress,” Tucker started.

“Kate said she’s having a great time,” Phoebe broke in quickly.

“Oh, that’s pretty obvious. To the whole town,” Tucker said.

“What do you mean?” Phoebe asked him.

“I’m standing here on the steps to city hall watching her have a good time.”

Phoebe frowned. “What do you mean? Shouldn’t you bewithher?”

“Yeah, well, I’m not sure her date would appreciate that,” Tucker said, his tone dry.

“Her date?” Phoebe repeated. “You’reher date.”

“Uh, no, I believe that would be Levi,” Hailey said. “And from the way she’s kissing him right now, they’re getting along great.”

Kate and Levi werekissing?

Joe and Phoebe met each other’s gaze, their eyes wide.

“They’rekissing?” Phoebe asked.

“Yes. And Kate looks almost as good in her red dress as I do in mine,” Hailey said.

So Levi had met the wrong gorgeous blonde in a red dress.
