In her absence, Seth Colton offers me a hug.“Gage and Dmitri are lucky bastards.But they know it, and I’m happy for all three of you.”

“Thanks, Seth.”I look into his hazel eyes and see something there.Not sadness, exactly.Loneliness?“Hey, you’re going to find someone, too.”

He looks pointedly at me.“All the good girls are taken.”

“I—” I blink hard.He can’t be saying what I think he’s saying.

With a sad smile, he gives me a gentle push toward Dmitri and Gage.“Don’t worry, Leah.I’m figuring things out and I’ll keep my distance until I do.Okay?”

“Okay.”I trust him—he’s telling the truth.If he actually has feelings for me, he’s going to do whatever it takes to get over them.He’s a good guy, and he deserves love, just like the rest of us do.“Take care, Seth.”

“You too.”He looks like there’s something else he wants to say, but he swallows it down, gives me a mock salute, and walks through the crowd and out the back door.

The “Uhs” converge on me next—Olivia, Samantha, and Ella.They’re bursting with energy, eager to talk details and dresses and how swoon-worthy and perfect this proposal was.Every now and then, my gaze floats over to my guys—myfiancés—and I smile to myself.We’re getting married!They really do want me forever, and I want them forever, too.

After a while, I move toward Gage and Dmitri, examining my new rings as I go.The bands are interlocking, with a setting of tiny swirling leaves and rose petals surrounding the diamonds.There’s even a tiny butterfly.

Dmitri wraps his arm possessively around my waist.Gage joins us on my other side.

“Do you like the rings?”Dmitri asks.

“We debated waiting to pick them out with you.”Gage touches my cheek.“But then we saw this set, and we thought it would be perfect.We can always take them back, find something new?—”

“The rings are perfect, and I love them.”I look back and forth, from one beloved man to the other.“But not as much as I love the two of you.”

More kissing.Our friends cheer.

Desire.Lust.Love.Bliss.

The three of us have it all.
