“Yep.”

“Great.” He held his hand out to me. “Let’s go.”

I slipped my hand into his and we left the apartment, pausing at the door. I glanced around the empty space, scattered with a few remaining boxes.

“Are you going to miss this place?” Finn asked.

I hummed, thinking. “A little.” I turned to him. “But I can’t wait for what’s next.”

The bar wentdead silent as Finn and I stepped out of the hallway, my hand on his arm.

Sadie saw me and started screaming.

“You two are gettingmarried?” she screeched.

Finn and I grinned at each other before turning to our stunned friends and family gathered in the bar. Over the counter, a sign hung.Happy birthday, Olivia and Finn!

“Surprise,” Finn said with his wicked grin, squeezing my arm.

A wall of noise rose up and we were surrounded.

“Oh my god.” Sadie’s face was inches from mine, eyes wide and shining. “Oh my god.” I laughed as she grabbed my face. “I love you so much,” she told me.

“I love you, too, Sadie. I’m happy you’re in my life.”

She stared at me in awe, shaking her head. “Love looks good on you.” Her gaze dropped to my dress. “And so does thisdress.”

I glanced down at the short vintage mini-dress, ivory fabric smooth under my fingers. Above the neckline, the pink petals of my tattoo peeked out.

“Iknewit,” Avery told us, shaking her head before wrapping me in an embrace. “I freaking knew it. I knew you were planning something.”

Emmett tackled Finn in a big hug, slapping each other on the backs with matching beaming grins.

“Do you have plans in about ten minutes?” Finn asked Emmett.

Emmett’s eyes were so bright, and the smile across his face was the proudest I’d ever seen him. He straightened up and adjusted his tie. We had told people to dress up.

“Please tell me I’m officiating,” he told Finn.

Finn shrugged. “It’s family tradition.”

Hannah and Wyatt lingered behind them, smiling. Cora clung to Wyatt’s neck, wearing a green dress with ladybugs on it. After the park incident last month, everyone told Finn stories of when they had screwed up. Apparently, when they were kids, Elizabeth had her back turned and Emmett tried to feed Finn rocks. Everyone had acknowledged that mistakes happen, and in the end, the only thing that mattered was that Cora was safe.

“Congratulations,” Hannah said softly, wrapping me in a hug.

“Oh my god,” Sadie said to Holden, shaking her head, and the corner of his mouth twitched. “I can’t believe I didn’t realize what was happening.”

Wyatt and Hannah switched, and Wyatt pulled me to him in a squeeze.

“Knew you two would figure it out,” he said quietly, nodding at me.

“Thanks, Wy.”

Holden stepped up and gave Finn a big hug before turning to me. I smiled at him and he nodded, mouth strained like he was holding back a grin.

“Good work,” he said. “You two finally stopped being stupid.”
