“Yep, pretty much.”

“Smart man. I’ll let you get back to it then. I just wanted to hear your voice.”

My cheeks hiked and I dropped my head so my eyes leveled to the floor. “You know how you said sooner rather than later?”

“About?”

“Me being your wife?”

“I do.”

“How soon is too soon?”

“Too soon doesn’t exist when it comes to you taking my last name.”

“Then let's do it.”

“What’s changed?”

“Nothing other than me getting out of my own way.”

This felt right and I had no reservations which further confirmed my decision.

“Good enough. Meet me at my office in an hour.”

He couldn’t possibly mean…

“I’ll make some calls and have everything set up.”

“For today?”

“Yes, today. Too soon does not exist with us. One hour unless you need more time.”

“I… No, I can be there in an hour.”

Cress arched a brow in question as soon as I ended the call. “Something wrong?”

“No, I’m taking your advice and getting out of my own way. I’m pretty sure I just agreed to get married today.”

“Well shit. I guess you took what I said literally.”

“I did and so did he.”

“I’m done here. I can drop you off.”

I frowned, fully processing what was happening. “You think he wants you there? I told him I was with you.”

“Did he tell you to bring me?”

No, he hadn’t mentioned anyone but me.

“No.”

“Then this one is just for you. Ez is very straight forward.”

“Come on, Melly. Auntie Jhorie is about to say I do.”

“I do to what?” His little face scrunched as he lifted from the floor.
