“From the look of things, you already do that.”

“Thanks, Gran. For everything you’ve done for me and Emily.”

She smiled. “You two keep me young.”

“By the way, Ford knits. Next time we visit, you’ll have to talk to him about all your projects.”

Her smile widened even more. “That sounds lovely.”

FORD

Emily and I found a quiet place to sit in the lobby.

“I approve of your relationship with my brother, but just so you know, if you hurt him, I will make you regret it.”

I could tell she was deadly serious. “I appreciate the warning.”

“Jay is…he’s not as tough as he tries to act.”

Jay was so different than the arrogant man he pretended to be when we met. “I figured that out.”

“I think he’s been crushing on you for a long time. He talked about you incessantly when I last visited.”

I grinned. “Really?”

“Yes. He told me all about how ‘fucking irritating’ you were, but I could tell there was more to it. You really got under his skin. Do not abuse that power.”

“I won’t. I love him. I thought I hated him at one point, but I was so wrong.”

She rolled her eyes. “Men are idiots.”

I wanted to argue with her, but I wasn’t sure I had a lot of ground to stand on.

A few moments later, Jay joined us.

“What did Gran want?” Emily asked.

Jay narrowed his eyes at her. “Did you tell her about me and Ford?”

Emily shook her head “No. Seriously, I wouldn’t do that.”

“She knew.”

“Probably because you talk about Ford a lot.”

“No, I don’t.”

Emily raised her brows and stared at him. Color filled his cheeks. “I guess I have told her things about him.”

“A lot of things.”

“Was I that obvious?”

Emily smiled. “It was adorable.”

“Never say that again.”
