Unable to resist, and even though I know my mom is watching and waiting, I reach up to stroke my knuckle along Kat’s cheek. “I don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you in my life, but fuck, Kat.” I wrap an arm around her waist, pulling her into me. Her hands rest on the lapels of my jacket and she smiles softly up at me. “You came to a wedding that you wanted nothing to do with because you didn’t want your mom to be upset. Hell, you opened your house up to a complete stranger for the past seven months. As much as you try to hide it, Jackson, you’re kind of a good man.”
