Austin smiled. “I talked to your dad. It’s all set. We’re gettin’ married by the water in their yard. Small and intimate like.”
“Do I have any say in this?”
He shook his head. “You can pick your dress. Otherwise, Emily and Kim have the rest of it under control. They said they know what you want or something.”
I sighed. “Yeah, they know.”
“Good. It’s settled.”
“I don’t have a ring.”
“Got that planned, baby. When you’re feelin’ better, I’m gonna get romantic.”
I laughed. “Seriously?”
“Hell, yeah. Gonna blow your mind.”
I closed my eyes and kissed his chest. “Love you, baby.”
“Love you too, Dani.”
We stayed like this all night. I was restless with pain, but Austin kept track of the time and would dose me every four hours like clockwork, which meant I slept even if he didn’t. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to fall in love with the most amazing man on earth, especially after my track record.
I fell asleep knowing I was the luckiest woman alive.

Islid the covers upDani’s body and kissed her temple. She was finally asleep, the pain meds and muscle relaxers coursing through her system making her more comfortable. I pulled the door partially closed and headed to my office, phone in hand.
“Hello?” Kim answered.
“Hey. You got time to come hang with Dani for a bit? I have shit to do.”
“Sure. I can be there in twenty minutes.”
“Thanks, Kim.”
I hung up and called Mack.
“Yo.”
“You got him?” I asked.
“Yeah, brother. He’s here,” Mack said. “Prez and Hatch are here too.”
“Why?”
“Make sure you don’t kill him.”
“Fuck.” I dragged a hand through my hair. “You got my back they get in the way?”
Mack chuckled. “When don’t I?”
“Thanks, brother.”
I hung up and slipped my phone into my pocket. I needed to ride today, so I grabbed my leathers from the closet. Kim arrived a few minutes later.
