“Sorry.” I throw my hands up, heading to take my turn.
The ball leaves my hand on a perfect spin, crashing into the pins and knocking all ten down.
“Hell yeah!” I pump my arms in victory. “See if you guys win now.”
Jasper does a slow clap. “Great job. You’re still down by forty.”
“Yeah, yeah.” I roll my eyes at him as I grab my beer and toast with Marcus. “I’ll take one perfect frame.”
Even if we’re losing and they pick the next activity, I wouldn’t mind this being a date night with the guys and our partners.
I love that we’re all here together while the girls are getting ready for the big gala tonight.
I never thought that this was going to be what a day could look like. Hanging with the guys and then going out with all of us together, Chloe included.
If it’s up to me, Chloe will be around for a long time.
Forever, I hope.
Chapter Twenty
CHLOE
Dax
I can’t wait to see you tonight
Chloe
I saw you this morning
I know
But I miss you already
Is that cheesy?
No
Because I miss you too
I can’t wait to see you in your dress
Ditto
You can’t wait to see you in your dress too?
I meant I can’t wait to see youin your tux
I already want to peel you out of it
Patience, Dax. Patience

Stuffing my phone in my purse, I grab the bags from the front seat of my car and hand the keys over to the valet.
“Welcome to the Nashville Grande. We hope you enjoy your stay.”
