“Ah, we know who got lucky, brother.”
I ducked my head a fraction, fighting the laughter that crawled up my throat, and I peeked over at Cash.
Maybe I was surprised to find the most adoring expression shining from his rugged face. Those hazel eyes brimming with something that had never been in them before. No denial left.
Peace swelled. This joy that I never expected when I came here wrapping me in a blanket of security.
Colin hopped over to Cash and took his hand. His little face filled with so much innocence I didn’t know what to do with myself. “Well, I guess that means you gotta be my dad now, right?”
I was sure it would be fear that held Cash’s expression when he looked over at me.
But no.
I swore he was asking me for permission as he squeezed my son’s hand.
Moisture burned at the backs of my eyes, and my throat and chest felt so full as we stood there beneath the bright summer sky gazing at each other.
The energy between us whipping and stirring. Winding and winding until there was no chance we weren’t completely one.
Tied.
Tethered.
Found.
I gave him the slightest nod.
His thick throat bobbed as he swallowed, his hand eclipsing my son’s as he finally turned to look down at him. “Yeah, Colin. That’s exactly what it means.”
FIFTY
DAISY
“Areyou sure this is a good idea?”
“Did you read your text thread?” Cash asked with a telling arch of his brow. “Pretty sure there is no getting out of it.”
I glanced back at my phone that was on the bathroom counter.

Celebration tonight at Kane’s. 7 o’clock, bitches. Daisy didn’t get a party for her wedding, and as her new sisters and besties and basically her most favorite people in the world, it’s our duty to fix that.
Emery
I’m pretty sure she had the exact kind of party she wanted.
Raven
Obviously, which is why we delayed this shindig until tonight. Now she gets us and Cash. Win/win. Personally, I can’t imagine a better combination. A burly, grumbly Cash and her new amazing sisters. Pretty much all she needs, but just to be clear, there will be gifts. Lots of gifts. Get ready to be spoiled.
Raven
Wear something hot and we’ll do the rest.
Piper
Ohhh, I’ll drop off something super sexy from Ivy Threads.
