“Sunshine. I fucking love you. I’m obsessed with you. You’re all I see. You’re my past, my future…you’re everything. I saw you at twelve years old, Blake, and my soul recognized you. Realized you belonged to me. In every circumstance, in every life…I would have found you. I know that, with every fiber in my being.”
“Ari,” I whispered, the world blurring from my tears–it was just so nice that they were actually happy ones for once.
“I made you a promise once, that I would spend the rest of my life making you happy. And even though you’re doing a damn fine job of doing that yourself…it will still be my honor to ensure all your dreams come true. So, Mrs. Lancaster…”
I giggled, because it was a little odd to have a marriage proposal when you already had the groom. And his last name.
“And please remember, you only have one real option for your response,” he reminded me as he pulled the band from the box and reached for my finger. “Will you do me the honor of letting me make you happy for the rest of our lives?”
He slipped the band on my finger so it fit against my other ring.
“Yes. A thousand, million times yes,” I cried as I fell into his arms.
He made love to me after that, beneath a sky laced with glittering, hopeful stars…courtesy of paid off staff that knew the area was off limits while we had the place.
And I knew I was the luckiest girl in the world.
Nine months ago, I’d been in the wrong life with the wrong guy.
And I hadn’t realized any of it.
Ari Lancaster was proof that miracles–and soulmates–existed. And I said a thank you to the heavens every night that he’d seen that billboard that day and moved heaven and earth to find me.
Every tear, every cut, every ache. It had somehow brought us here.
And as the great Taylor Swift said,all’s well that ends well to end up with…
The pucking right guy.
EPILOGUE
ARI
Anight out with the boys in D Town…only beat by a night out with my girl.
Walker had said he had something really important to say to the “circle of trust.” So here we were—Lincoln and I checking our phones every few minutes to make sure our ladies were still together at my house.
“I have some exciting news!” Walker said as soon as we’d ordered our wings.
“Give it to us, Disney,” I drawled as I stuffed some chips and queso in my mouth. This place was the bomb.
Lincoln went for a chip and I stabbed him with a fork. “I ordered all of this for myself. I’ve got months to make up for.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that?” he snarled, going to dip his chip again in my nectar of the gods.
“I will stab you again. And then you won’t be able to hold your stick. Of any kind.”
“Monroe will hold my stick,” Lincoln said cockily, and I pretended to throw up.
“I’m going to be a daddy,” Walker suddenly announced proudly.
I choked on my chip, hacking and coughing while Lincoln stared at the two of us like we were embarrassing him.
“Sorry. What was that? Are we talking about sex kinks right now? Because I need to prepare myself before I think about some puck bunny calling you “daddy.”” Lincoln scooped up some queso while I was trying to breathe.
“No, I mean a real dad,” Walker grinned, neither of them seeming to care at all that I’d almost CHOKED TO DEATH!
“Okay…Walker. And are you adopting? Because I haven’t seen any ladies around, and I know you were taught better than to not double wrap when it comes to those stage five clingers.”
