The song says that he makes me smile when he’s around.

I look at Bishop as the lyrics say that he’s the reason why I smile.

The next part says they make me dance in the mirror and sing in the shower.

Bishop grins, stepping closer as Toby’s hands grip my hips hard, moving me against him. I close my eyes and keep singing my heart out, screaming parts of the song.

Removing myself from Toby, I make sure I’m looking at both of them. I sing about having to have them, and not letting them go.

Their smiles are everything.

I look at Toby and sing how I think about him when I go to bed. Then to Bishop, saying I think about him when I wake up and do it again.

It goes on, and the song’s right: they are my lovers and friends.See, this song fits okay?I’m notthatdrunk.

The lyrics repeat, and I belt them out. Bee is nearby, dancing along too. I grin over at her, and she winks.

Turning my attention back to the guys, I sing the next part. It says there are no guarantees, but I’d take a chance on us.

I’d always take a chance on them because I know life is better with them, so why not at least try?

If I never did, I wouldn’t have them like I do now.

At the next part, I look at Toby. The lyrics say that when times get rough, there is no giving up.

I need him to know that. I’ll never give up on him. Ever.

There's emotion in his eyes as he mouthsI love you. I wink. When the lyrics ‘I don’t care what others say’ come up, I look out at the crowd of people.

Only none of them care. They’re all happy, smiling, and living life. No one is making a big deal about it. No one is giving us a disgusted look.

Everyone at this wedding is here to celebrate a gay marriage where half of the wedding party is in a poly relationship.

No one here judges these kinds of things.

I know it won’t be like this with the outside world, but right now, this is enough.

The rest of the song just repeats, and I let go and start jumping around dancing. Bee joins in, a big smile on her face as she sings along with me.

I might look silly, but no one can take this joy away from me right now.

“So, you too, huh?” Chase asks with a heavy sigh.

The night is winding down, and most of the guests have left, including Cooper and Blake. It’s only my parents, Bee, Jonas,Bishop, Toby, and my mom’s friends Lexi and Val. Auntie Tabby had to take her wife back to the hotel. She was a little tipsy. But hey, she had fun. That’s what matters.

“Don’t act like you’re surprised,” Auntie Val huffs. “I knew these two were endgame since they were kids. Remember the time Toby went up to a boy at the park and kicked him in the balls for calling Lilly pretty,” she snickers. “Ahh, good times.”

“Really?” Lexi sighs. “Sorry about her. Thirteen years later, and she’s still the same Val.”

“Ahh, yeah. Why would I want to change? I’m fucking amazing.” Val rolls her eyes.

Mom laughs. “Well, I’m happy for the both of you.” She takes my hand, giving me a gentle smile and squeeze.

“You are?” I ask.

“Of course. And Val’s kinda right.” Mom laughs. “We’ve all had our suspicions.”

“You did?” Toby asks. “Even you?” He looks at his dad.
