“The whole universe, then,” she looks up and grins. I rub her dimple indent with my thumb as I take her face in my hands. “Definitely the whole universe,” she whispers.
“So I did okay with what I said? I don’t ever want you to feel like I’m overstepping any boundaries. She just looked so scared that I was going to leave one day, and I had to tell her where my heart lies. God, it killed me to see her beautiful eyes sad for even a second,” I breathe through the tightness in my chest.
“You did perfectly.” She looks at me like she looks at Bee…like I’m her whole world. I silently thank the heavens for sending her to me because she most definitely is mine. “You do realize, though, that she will be sad again, right? And one day, her heart will be crushed by a boy, and…”
“Stop right there,” I say, putting my finger to her lips to stop her words. “No guy will have the chance to crush her heart. I won’t let him.”
“You can’t stop her from getting hurt.” She shakes her head and laughs softly.
“No, but any guy who wants to date her is going to have to get through me first.”
“Spoken like a true girl dad already.” Laughing, she kisses me briefly on the lips before getting to work on thepopcorn.
God, is this how my dad felt with Savi?
I thought I was protective of my sister, but it’s times a thousand when it comes to your daughter.
My daughter.
The two words come out so easily and feel so right that there is no doubt I want to make it official one day. Olivia and Bee Montgomery sound pretty fucking amazing if you ask me.
Miles
I need your girls’ help.
I lean backin my office chair and smile when the dots start to appear. I knew it wouldn’t take long for them to respond.
Savi
OMG! Is it finally happening?????
Lyla
You better not be messing with us, Miles. I’m pregnant and emotional.
Eve
This is soooo exciting!!!! I just scared the shit out of Ryder when I read the text and screamed.
Sophia
Give me a date because we want to be there. Don’t you dare do it until we arrive!!!
I laugh at all the texts shooting through likefireworks.
Miles
I’m thinking next week. I pick up the ring on Tuesday, and we have a shift together on Thursday. It doesn’t give us long to plan, but I don’t think I can wait any longer.
Savi
I can make Thursday night work!
Eve
Count me in!
