“Knee. Balls. Nose,” Naomi whispered to me. “That’s my girl.” I gave her a squeeze.
“Nope. You don’t get to say it back yet. Figure I have at least a week of telling you before I’ll deserve to hear it back. Got it?”
Her smile got impossibly brighter, and her eyes filled with tears. “Sorry,” she sniffled, bringing her hands to her face. “I know you don’t like tears.” “Think I’m okay with these,” I told her and lowered my mouth to hers. “Barf,” Waylay complained.
“About damn time,”
If Grim hadn’t come through… If I’d been one minute later… If Nash hadn’t been that accurate with his right hand…
And Knockemout showed the fuck up.
“I’ll be right back, Daze,” I told her.
“You about done fucking things up?” Stef asked me.
“I just told our girl that we’re getting married. So yeah. I’m about done.”
“I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life,”
“Never. I was miserable without you two.” “Me too?” she asked.
“Way, you’re smart. You’re brave. You’re gorgeous. And I’m gonna hate it when you start dating. I fucking love you. And not just because you’re part of a package deal.”
“Mom got mad at me for something stupid and cut my hair as punishment. So I decided to punish her back.
I didn’t know they were going to break into Aunt Naomi’s and kidnap us and stuff. I swear,” she said.
“You are going to hate your life when she starts dating,” he said. I couldn’t fucking wait.
the smile she directed at me lit me up from the inside out.
And then he’d delivered on each and every one.
but I was feeling greedy. “Deal,” I whispered.
He’d barely let me out of his sight. And I was okay with it.
“Not yet, baby.”
“Soon?” I asked. “Soon,” he promised. I was the luckiest woman in the world.
“This place needs a family in it. A big messy one. Bonfires and babies. Smartassed teenagers. Dogs.”
You and Knox and Waylay live here.”
“He’s out there throwing your girl the best damn party this town’s ever seen, ain’t he? He’s already planning the wedding, ain’t he?”
“But a smart man once told me that what matters most is that I spend the rest of my life trying to be the kind of man who deserves you. So that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna remember how fucking lucky I am, every single day. And I’m gonna do my best to be the best for you.
You made me whole. And every time you smile at me, I feel like I hit the lottery again.”
“I love you so fucking much, Daisy.”
“Now you can say it,”
“I love you, Knox.” “Damn right you do, baby.”
“Okay. New family rule. Neither of you is allowed to cry ever again,” Knox said, his voice hoarse.
“Every day since I met you has been the best day.” “Don’t be sweet, or I’ll break your new family rule,” I warned him.
I lasted all of ten seconds. “Okay. Gimmie.”
“Movin’ to Knockemout.”
Every damn dream I’d ever had was coming true, and he was making it happen.
I’m gonna get it for you. No questions asked.
“Oh my God,” I whispered.
“Now, it’s time for something I want.”
Both my kidneys. My favorite purse. Anything at all.
“I want daisies in your hair.”
