“Yes, Little One, whatever you want to do with it.”

“Love you,” she kisses him softly before he kisses her back as if he has been starved of her for too long.

She sits down, Dex dragging a chair from a vacant table to sit next to us as we start eating our nachos.

“Will you still have your garages?”

“The ones at home I signed over to Hugo.” I watch as Dex stiffens and sits a little taller in his seat. “Calm down,” she rolls her eyes.

I stare between the both of them.

“Mr Possessive over here getting all territorial over someone from years ago.”

“Me? Possessive?” He places his hand on his chest as if he she has offended him.

“Was you not then?” She smirks.

“Okay fine,” he rolls his eyes now and shakes his head from side to side.

“Was you?” I laugh, taking a sip of my tea.

“So bad. Used to…” he looks around before leaning into the table and lowering his voice, “stalk her.”

“No, you did not!” and I am shook to my core.

“True story.”

“Dex Rutherford,” I shake my head in a playful manner.

“I know I know, but look, I couldn’t not be with her. I knew she was meant for me, but she decided to date my dad instead until I stole her away.”

“Thief.”

“Only the best kind,” he throws me a wink and a giggle slips from me.

“I’m glad you stole me away,” she sighs blissfully, as he scoops her hand into his and brings the back of it to his lips as he plants a soft kiss.

The waitress clears our plates and Dex settles the bill before we all leave and walk back towards our hotel.

“Where are you meeting Keaton?”

“Somewhere called Fat Tuesdays?” I scrunch my nose up.

“Okay, let’s head there. You okay with us tagging along?” Dex asks as he stops walking for a moment.

“Oh my god, of course. We wouldn’t have been here if it wasn’t for you,” my voice is soft, “and I wouldn’t have married my dad’s best friend, but hey, look, I’m not blaming you for that,” I laugh.

“You couldn’t blame me even if you wanted to, it was nothing to do with me, that was all you and Keaton.”

“Shhhh,” I cover my ears as I begin to walk again and I hear Dex and Sage let out a loud laugh and honestly, I have never, ever, been more grateful for two people coming into my life when they did.

They were so much more than friends. They were family.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

KEATON

Turning my wrist to face me, it’s just past nine thirty and I don’t know why, but I have an uneasiness in my chest, an ache in my gut. Slipping my phone from my pocket, I check to see if she has messaged but there is nothing.
