“How far along are you?” Autumn asked.

Summer smiled. “About four months.”

Autumn blinked. “Oh my god. The panini maker?”

I burst out laughing.

Summer put her head down.

Shaun glanced at me. “Panini maker?”

“I’ll explain it to you later.”

“Will I like it?”

I grinned. “Yeah. We’ll like it.”

“Then I’m game,” he said and winked at me.

We were slowly getting there.

I didn’t want to move too fast emotionally.

Sexually?

You can’t stop that train.

But emotionally? I was still hesitant to admit I was committing my whole heart to Shaun.

But that was all me.

Not anyone else.

And he was rolling with it. Our plane was taking off.

Slowly.

Epilogue

A month later

“Well, that confirms it,” I said, and glanced at Shaun. “The kids are coming home for Spring Break. And they’re ready to meet you.”

I tucked the phone back into my pocket.

“That’s good, I guess,” Shaun said.

“They’ll like you, I’m sure,” I said as I picked up another box.

Shaun’s house had sold, and originally, I had offered to let him stay with me temporarily, but the more he lived with me, the more I liked having another person there.

“Brittany is excited to meet my boyfriend.”

He smiled. “Well, I’m looking forward to meeting her. My kids like you,” he said.

I nodded. Which I hadn’t expected. We’d gone to Texas to meet his kids, and surprisingly, they all thought I was pretty cool. They approved of me, which I think meant more to Shaun than it did me.

Okay, so it meant something to me.
