“I will. Thanks.”
“Is there anything else I can do for you right now?”
“I think we’re good,” Finn said.
Once they’d stepped outside and Nikki had locked the door, she said to Harper, “Thanks so much for the pictures you took of Max. You did a fantastic job!”
“He was a great subject,” Harper demurred.
After Nikki had driven away, Harper and Finn sat in his truck for a few minutes, looking at the storefront.
“What are you thinking?” Harper ventured.
“I’m thinking I’d like to do it. I just want to go over these documents, and if everything looks in order, I’ll tell my brothers.”
“Do you think they’ll agree with your decision?”
“Liam will be no problem, but Connor’s another story.”
“Speaking of Connor—has he said anything to you about Julia lately?”
“No. Why?”
Harper shrugged. “It’s probably none of my business, but Julia seemed upset earlier today. She’s worried Connor might be keeping something from her.”
“Not that I know of, but Connor has his secrets, that’s for sure.”
“Well, I hope Julia doesn’t get hurt. I haven’t seen her this hung up on a guy in a long time.”
Finn stared hard at her for a long moment.
“What?” she finally said.
“Nothing. You hungry? Because I didn’t eat dinner yet.”
“Me neither.”
“Pizza at Mr. B’s?”
“Let’s do it.”
“God, I hope so,” he teased as they drove away.
They were each on their second slice of pizza when Finn looked over her shoulder and said one word: “Burberry.”
And in the next second, Will was standing beside their table, holding the hand of a very attractive woman with a sleek black bob.
“Harper. Finn. Nice to see you,” Will said congenially, reaching out to shake Finn’s hand.
“Bur—Will. Good to see you too,” Finn replied after Harper had kicked him under the table.
And then, turning toward his date, Will said, “Allow me to introduce my fiancée, Megan.”
Sure enough, when Megan raised her hand in a brief wave, there was a sparkling diamond ring on it.
“You’re engaged?” Harper said, not bothering to hide her surprise. She hadn’t seen Will since they’d parted ways that night at the bar, but Julia hadn’t said a word about him getting engaged. Had she thought that Harper would be upset? But Will quickly resolved the question.
“Yes, as of tonight. You two are the first to know!”
