“You good?” Enzo asks. His lips brush my earlobe, making me startle. “Where'd you go?” He watches my expression. He knows my every mood. He can read me better than almost anyone.

I love this man so, so, so much.

I love my life.

My heart is full.

“Yes. I didn’t go anywhere. I’m right here.” I try to hold it together because I don't want to fall apart. I’m so overcome with emotion, I could cry.

“Hey, hey.” His gentle voice soothes me. He presses a kiss below my ear before pulling away.

Dex clears his throat. “Isabella, you've outdone yourself.” He gives her an appreciative nod. “I say that every time you invite us over for yet another one of your magnificent feasts, but you always outdo yourself.” He holds up his glass. “To Isabella, thank you for the feast, and thank you for always bringing us all together.”

Everyone holds up their glasses.

Isabella raises her glass. “Nothing makes me happier than family getting together. Please, everyone, eat and enjoy.”

The wine gets passed around. I pick up my fork ready to dive into culinary heaven, when Jett asks, “Could I say something?”

The room becomes quiet again.

Isabella answers. “You don't have to ask, Jett. Of course you may.”

Dex fixes him with a curious gaze. “What, dude?”

Everyone looks dumbfounded and the men start tapping their wine glasses with their spoons, urging him to speak.

Jett pauses, then scratches his chin. “I don't know,” he murmurs. “Maybe I should leave this to Cari and Brooke.”

“Can I, Daddy? Can I?!” Brooke’s excitement hasn’t abated. Cari stares down at her lap, her cheeks pink.

“They’re getting married!” Brooke cries.

The dining room turns raucous. Cries and cheers fill every corner of the room.

Cari grins, shyly, and Jett looks at her as if she is his world. The men get up to congratulate Jett.

“Show us the ring!” Raquel cries. Raquel and Dani go over. Maya and Elizabeth immediately join them. Cari holds out her hand and they admire it loudly, oozing appreciative sighs.

“Oh my days!” I gasp. I’m sitting directly opposite her and can see the big glistening round diamond. “That’s big.”

“It’s not as big as the one Jett wanted to give me,” Cari replies, moving her hand away onto her lap and away from scrutiny.

Enzo and I turn to one another, neither of us speaking. There's going to be a wedding. A family affair. Another celebration. I cannot wait.

“When?” Maya asks.

Cari and Jett chuckle as their gazes meet.

“Sometime next year, “Jett replies. “We’re still thinking about it.”

“Awesome, dude.” Rio can’t stop grinning.

“I’ll volunteer to arrange the stag night,” Dex offers.

Jett groans.

“I’m going to be a flower girl.” Brooke turns all shy. I understand her earlier excitement now.
