“I’m here if you want to talk.”
I gestured around the room. “This is your wedding night.”
Heath flashed a smile. “You could have what I do. A woman who loves you despite all your flaws.”
Had Fiona loved me despite my history and the fuck-ups in my past? All I’d done was make a bigger mistake. Had I messed up the only person that loved me for me? “I think I fucked up.”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”
“What am I going to do?” The panic clawed at my throat.
“You’re going to take some time to think about what you want, and if it’s her, and you’re willing to do whatever’s necessary to get her back, then we can talk about it.”
I raised a brow. “You’re going to be on your honeymoon.”
“I’m around tomorrow,” Heath said.
“On Christmas.” I didn’t want to be apart from Fiona on the holiday, but I was the one who’d pushed her away. She’d already planned to spend it with her family. It would give me time to think.
“What else are you doing? Besides wallowing.”
“Marley said I could join you, but you’re hanging out with the Monroes. They aren’t my family.”
Heath frowned. “You’re my family, and everyone is welcome.”
“Even a Calloway?” I asked, thinking about what would happen if I managed to get Fiona back.
With a rueful grin, he said, “We didn’t kick Cole out yet. Although at this point, I think the Monroes would prefer to keep Daphne and Izzy and do without Cole.”
“We’ll see.” I had things to figure out, and I wasn’t exactly in a holiday mood. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d spent it with anyone other than my fellow soldiers.
Heath hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me into his chest. “I’m not letting you spend it alone. So get that out of your head.”
I twisted away from his grasp. “Knock that shit off.”
“We’re brothers now. I get to treat you like one.”
“Don’t you have enough brothers?” I asked, thinking of the four he already had.
“I could use one more. Besides, I feel sorry for you. You’re obviously incapable of getting in touch with your emotions.”
“Like you’re good with that?” I asked him incredulously.
“I just married the love of my life. I’d say I am,” Heath said as Marley returned to his side, and a smile spread over his face.
“Aria said it’s time for us to make our exit,” Marley said with her hand on his chest and her shoulder tucked under his arm.
Heath grinned. “I’m all for that.”
The two of them were staying at their cabin tonight, and Charlotte had checked into a room at the inn so they could have privacy. I had a feeling Charlotte would be living at the inn for a while. She wouldn’t want to impose on them.
“Take care of her,” I said, my throat tight with emotion.
Heath looked up at me and tightened his grip on my sister’s shoulders. “I told you I would.”
“Just making sure.”
“Are you two good?” Marley asked, looking from me to her husband.
