Landon gives a dismissive wave. “We had this year—the Super Bowl. We’ll always be able to say we did it together.”

“Plus, you two are starting a new life with each other down there,” Grace notes, tilting her head toward the honey-haired goddess on my lap.

Eden beams. “I’m so excited. We finally finished furnishing our Miami place yesterday.” It’s a two-bedroom condo with under fifteen-minute drives to both stadiums. We’ll keep my place for when we’re in Orlando.

“Was the drive bad?” Landon asks.

“Nah,” I answer him. “I mean, it’s four hours, but we wouldn’t have missed today.”

“Well, expect a lot of visitors. Avery and I will be in our off-seasons soon, and we’ll come hang. I love Miami,” Rori shares.

“Please come to my games down there, even if you have to pretend to root for the other team,” Avery says.

“It’s kind of amazing how everything worked out,” Landon observes. “That we could all be here together tonight. That so many pieces have come together for our futures.”

Grace responds, “It happened exactly how it was meant to.”

As the sun sets incrementally lower, we sip our beverages, the boat rocking in a soothing cadence. Laughing, sharing, connecting under the rainbow of colors typical for a Florida dusk.

Pinks, yellows, oranges, blues, and a dash of purple.

Vibrant on their own, and blended beautifully.

Made even better, together.
