They had this amazing week planned and everything had fallen into place.

The hotel was right on the bay, they flew first class, they had booked the Bay cruise for tomorrow night…everything was great, so what was her problem?

A few minutes later, Will stepped out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel and her heart kicked hard in her chest. He was so handsome and sexy and just everything she ever wanted.

“Hey, sexy man,” she purred. “How was your shower?”

“Lonely,” he said with a wink. “If someone had only had some self-control around candy, we could have had a very naughty shower before dinner.”

“Hmm…that someone has learned her lesson. Believe me.” Climbing from the bed, she walked over and wrapped her arms around him. “Any chance we might try again in the morning?”

“Beautiful girl, we can do whatever you want.” He placed a kiss on the tip of her nose before stepping away. “But let’s get ready so we make our reservation.”

With a nod, Arianna walked over to the closet and pulled out the dress she was going to wear. She was about to change when her phone pinged with an incoming text. Will’s did too. They looked at each other in mild surprise.

“That’s weird. Why would anyone put us in a group text this week?” she asked as she walked over to pick it up.

“It’s from Liam,” Will said as he looked at his phone.

Liam: Decided to put an offer in on the house on Bayview and they accepted!

Liam: I guess I wasn’t busy enough and needed to put more on my plate

Will: Congratulations! That’s amazing!

Arianna: Yay, you!! Congratulations!!

Arianna: Any pictures?

A minute later, her brother texted several pictures of the front of the house.

“Oh, that is super cute,” Arianna said as she sat back down on the bed. “It’s nicer than I thought it would be.”

“Why wouldn’t it be nice?” Will asked, sitting down beside her.

“I don’t know. I guess I just assumed my brother wouldn’t have good taste.” Then she laughed.

Arianna: I love it! Can’t wait for you to host Christmas! Lol!

Patrick: It’s a good thing your real estate agent was such a good negotiator

Liam: Good grief. I already thanked you a dozen times

Ryleigh: I love it! When’s moving day?

Liam: End of the month

Jamie: I thought you were getting the townhouse?

Liam: Do you ever listen to anything?

Jamie: ???

Will: Just let us know the date and we’ll be there to help

Arianna: I’ll just supervise

Ryleigh: Hey, that’s my job!
