They’re too exhausting to keep up with anyway.

“Thank goodness,” Ryan sighs before releasing my hand as the waiter comes by with my toast and hot tea. “Nauseous?”

“All the time,” I tell him. “It has been a hard pregnancy.”

“And you did all those maid of honor duties on top of it all,” he murmurs, shaking his head. “Thank you for everything you did for us, even when I was acting like an ass. Seriously.”

“I wanted this week to be perfect for you guys. You deserve it,” I reply as I squeeze lemon into my black tea.

“And you deserve happiness too,” he reminds me. “We weren’t handed good cards at the beginning of our lives, but we have the chance to live the lives of our dreams now. Let’s not let it go to waste.”

I smile and nod in agreement. A lot has turned around for us, and I’m going to take advantage of that.

When I get home, everything is going to change. There are big decisions that I still need to make with the guys, but everything is going to fall into place. I feel it in my heart.

“I love you,” I tell him.

He smiles back and steals a bite of my toast. “Yeah, I love you too.”

For a moment, we’re back in the kitchen of our childhood home. He’s making us breakfast while our mom is still asleep, and I’m following his every move trying to help. I’m mostly getting in the way, but he doesn’t get mad. He just smiles and shows me what I can do.

He has always been that person, even during the dark moments, and we’ve had our share of those growing up.

“Ready for your honeymoon?” I ask him.

“I’m not ready for the flight all the way to Greece, but I’m looking forward to another beautiful view and some amazing food,” Ryan replies with a tired chuckle. “What are you going to do when you get back home?”

“I’ll have to give you a big update whenever you guys get back,” I tell him. I don’t have any definite answers for him yet.

Ryan nods. “Whatever you decide to do, I support you.”

I give him a grateful look. I don’t need his support, but it means the world to have it after everything that we have been through.

“When I first arrived here, I thought I would never want to go back home,” I admit as I glance around at the beautiful resort we got to enjoy for a whole week. “But I’m actually ready to go home.”

“You’ve got a lot to look forward to,” Ryan points out.

Warmth blooms in my chest as I think of the guys, who are probably still fast asleep in their beds. It was nice finally spending the night with them again and not having to sneak out of their room this morning.

Now that we’re together, the possibilities are endless for us. I can’t wait to explore every single one of them.

After we finish with our small breakfast, Ryan and I take the elevator up to our floor so that we can finish last minute packing and spend the rest of the morning with the loves of our lives.

“Thank you for everything,” Ryan murmurs as we embrace.

I smile against his shoulder and squeeze him tightly. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

That list is endless.

We share one last look with each other before breaking apart.

I use Marcus’ key card that I borrowed to let myself back into their suite, and I’m quick to disappear back under the sheets with the men I love to escape the morning sunlight.
