“But we know we might not be enough,” Uncle Owen adds with a grimace.
I blow out a slow breath and head off the lanai again.
Liked yesterday a lot better.
This time yesterday, Laney was having an orgasm over bacon.
Now, the smoothie I had for breakfast is sitting wrong in my stomach. “When you’re done with the chairs, go see if you can find some extra flowers in the open closet behind the bistro,” I call over my shoulder.
I don’t want to check on catering.
I don’t want to check on the minister and the photographer and the music.
I don’t want to check on the last-minute wedding cake that I almost had to offer sexual favors to get, and yes, I told Laney that story last night after I was feeling better about almost killing her dad, and yes, she laughed her ass off before kissing me until I forgot anything wrong has ever happened in the history of the world.
But I want my sister to have the best day of her life.
And I’m too up in my head as I head toward my rental car, which means I don’t see what’s coming until it’s too late.
Chandler.
And the triplets.
Thought he’d be golfing.
“One of you want to make sure he doesn’t light my clothes on fire?” Chandler asks while he steps to the far edge of the walkway.
He’s carrying his bug zapper.
“Chand my man,” Lucky says, “this is the time when you have to deal with it if Theo here does the obligatory pre-weddingdon’t hurt my sister or I’ll kill youthing.”
“It’s a rule,” Decker agrees.
“Even groomsmen can’t stop it,” Jack adds.
Chandler eyes me. “Gonna be like that?”
“Just looking for lunch.”
“You turned pussy since you started getting paid to be naked,” Chandler says.
“Whoa, man, we’ve got your back, but that might be too far,” Lucky says.
“Do youwantto get your wedding canceled?” Jack adds. “Even Em has limits.”
Heat flashes across my face.
Not because Chandler jilting Emma is suddenly at the top of my brain.
More because none of the triplets look surprised. Or confused.
Dad and Uncle Owen know about GrippaPeen. The triplets know about GrippaPeen. Sabrina knows about GrippaPeen.
So whodoesn’tknow?
And what happens when someone tells Laney first?
What happens when someone tellsher parentsfirst?
