“Brennan and I will probably leave right after you three do. Spencer will stay as long as Riley and Mercy want, then bring them home,” he said. “I think Brennan’s social battery is about done.”
He was sitting in the corner holding his niece and talking to Katie, Rami, and his dad.
“We’ll be leaving pretty soon. Hale and Dare have our exit planned. They say it’s not fireworks and I am afraid,” I laughed.
We finished our dance and went off to see Brennan.
I slid onto his lap, careful of the baby. “Hi.”
“Hey, Little Butterfly.” He gave me a little squeeze.
“Hello, my sweet baby,” I told my niece. “Hi, my sweet baby’s parents and my sweet baby’s grandpa.” I grinned at Katie and Rami, who looked exhausted but happy, and Brennan’s dad.
“Everything was so beautiful,” Rami said.
“It really was. I was sniffling during the pack confirmation,” Katie agreed.
“There you are, come on.” Evan hauled me off Brennan’s lap.
I kissed Brennan and Jett. “Love you.”
Where were we going? He, Wes, and I had already made the rounds, talking to everyone, thanking them for coming.
Wes waited for us on the dance floor and the song changed.
“What?” I looked up at him, the tune familiar but unexpected.
“I gave them the song, and they learned it,” Wes said, as he and Evan danced with me.
It was the song from my world I’d once played for him and joked that we should dance to it at our wedding. Given we had a live band, we chose something else. I could write out sheet music for Kari and Dare, but doing so for a band was beyond me. It never occurred to me to see if they could learn it by ear.
“You do realize that Mercy and Riley have uploaded a lot of your music to the internet, right?” Evan laughed.
“That’s fine with me.” While I’d never told Mercy I was from another world, I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew. Verity didn’t know, but Creed did.
Under the moon and twinkling lights, the three of us danced. “This is the best wedding present ever.”
“Yeah?” Evan’s eyes sparkled.
“Yeah. I’ll show you both how much at the hotel.” I gave them each a kiss.
“This is exactly what you wanted, right?” Wes asked, a little anxious.
“It’s everything I could want.” I kissed him again. We even had a photo booth. I looked at both of them. “You are everything I could want.”
I never knew that I needed five husbands until I came here.
We danced together to a couple of songs, then finally left the dance floor for a drink.
Dare, dressed in his usual Victorian rake glory, came over to us. “We’re ready when you are. We’ve got the exit distraction all ready.”
“Thank you.” I gave him a hug.
“No, thank you, Grace.” Dare hugged me tight. “Thank you for being the sister we didn’t know we needed.”
We went and got some lemonade. Then I found Verity and gave her one last hug. “See you, soon.”
“I can’t wait,” she replied.
