He hugged me. “I’m happy for you, my friend.”
“That means everything.”
“Evan, look what I got you.” Grace ran over and got down on one knee. “Will you be mine?” She held out a blinking ring.
“Peaches, I already am.” He held out his hand, and she slid it on. “This is for you. I crown you Princess Peaches.” Evan placed a crown on her hair.
“I love it.” She giggled and leaned in for a kiss.
Riley came back over to us. “While this has been fun, bitches, I have school tomorrow. Who’s taking me back to the dorms?”
“I will,” I volunteered. Grace could go back with them.
Riley said her goodbyes and followed me down to my car.
“Did you have fun?” I asked as she hooked her phone up to my stereo and played something.
“Yes. We should do this more often,” she told me.
I nodded. It was nice to see everyone having fun together like a pack. “Yes, I think we should.”
Chapter Fifty-Five
Jett
My phone beeped as I pulled into the garage of the house. For a Tuesday, work had been especially busy.
A text from Cam, my co-worker at the station, lit up my phone.
Cam
Can you teach my 7 pm class at the gym? Please?
Why couldn’t she have asked earlier? I got out of the car and looked at the group chat. Evan and Wes were working late, and Spencer was taking Riley to get new skate smash gear for the upcoming tryouts.
I texted Brennan as I went inside the quiet house.
Me
Working late? They need me to teach a class at the gym.
As I walked up the stairs, I heard Volkov’sSonata in Dbeing played on the piano. Was Brennan home? That was one of his go-toI hate the worldpieces. When I got to the second floor, a little blonde was hunched over the piano, pounding out the notes of the dark and powerful piece.
They both liked Volkov. Huh. They had more in common than they wanted to admit. While a lot of things didn’t add up when it came to Grace, I still liked her.
It was also obvious that she was thriving here with Wes and Evan. It could be because Wes was hermate.But affection, regular meals, cuddles, and kind words probably had a lot to do with it.
He texted me back.
Brennan
Go for it. I’m trying to close on the estate so Evan can get married in a fucking rose garden.
Wow. He was going ahead and trying to buy the estate so Evan could marry Grace there? But Brennan would give Evan pretty much anything. It was also nice that he was coming around to the fact that Grace wasn’t going anywhere. Grace and Evanmatedduring their romantic weekend.While Evan had talked to us about wanting to bond her, we didn't realize he’d do it so soon.
Brennan was a little miffed about it, because the investigations weren’t even closed yet. But he’d shut those feelings down as soon as he saw how it hurt Evan. I texted Cam back.
