After a few seconds, Gyth smiled. “Oh, the ladies are meddling again.”
“Glad you could finally catch on,” Kace teased. “Our girls always know when someone is going to get bitten by love.”
All the guys roared with laughter, but Harland remained silent, staring at everyone with unease in his gaze.
“He’s not going to know what hit him, is he?” Jett said in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.
His warm breath tickled my ear, and I sank back into his embrace, needing to be as close as possible.
“I highly doubt it,” I answered.
My gaze took in Harland and his adorable niece. “They deserve a happily ever after.”
I turned in Jett’s arms. “I definitely got mine,” I whispered.
Jett brought his hand up to my face, cupping my cheek. “I love you so much, Mrs. Adams.”
As my husband's mouth descended toward mine, I murmured, “I love you more.”
“Not possible,” he said, his lips latching onto mine.
Everyone should be this blissfully happy, I thought, sinking into the kiss.
I get to do this with the man of my dreams for the rest of my life.
EPILOGUE
Patience
When I got married, I thought I knew what blissfully happy was.
But I had no clue then, because…
This is it.
I looked around our brand-new home, filled with the most amazing people in the world. We had moved in at the beginning of February, just weeks before our little angel was born. Then by the beginning of March, we were hosting our first gathering.
Has it really been five months since the ceremony?
Whoever said that time flies when you’re having fun was right. After I got over all the morning sickness, my pregnancy had gone off without a hitch. I felt wonderful, pampered, and loved. This time around, I had Jett with me every step of the way during my pregnancy—and my friends.
Taking a peek at each one of the ladies again, I smiled but then let out a sigh. One very special person was missing.
“I wish Dusty could be here,” I said softly.
Ruby smiled. “She’ll be here in a couple of weeks.”
Dusty hated that she’d missed the birth and had plannedon coming early to make sure she’d been here, but her dad had come down with pneumonia. She didn’t want to leave him right then, which I totally understood.
“I heard she might head up the mountain to help Harland?” Alley inquired.
Nodding, I confirmed. “Yup. Sounds like people are catching wind of the fact that Luna Vale is around, and more people are making their way there to see her. It wasn’t what they had wanted, I’m sure.”
“Not at all,” Jurnee chimed in. “Braxton mentioned it to Dusty since he keeps trying to get her to join them, and she agreed to go up if needed.”
Jurnee glanced over at me, then at the other ladies. “But not before she saw all the new additions to the group.”
“At least she’ll only be a couple of hours away then,” I added.
