“I’m so happy, Tully.”
“I am too, Trouble. I’ve got my girl back. I’m the happiest man in the world.”
Movement to the side of us catches my eye, and I turn to see Ava and Erin walk in. They’re the last to arrive.
“Okay, we’re ready to start.” I kiss Lola lightly. “Are you ready for a wedding?”
“So ready.”
I stare at her for a moment, wondering if she meant that the way it sounded…
I shake myself and kiss her one more time before going to tell Camden it’s time.
My brothers, Milo, Jackson, and I all gather around Camden. A tap on the door sounds, and Dad pokes his head in.
“Sorry it took me so long to get back here. Looking like a million bucks, son,” he says.
“You’re just in time for our shot, Dad,” Dylan says, pouring everyone a shot.
We each take a glass, and the smell is so minty, my nose stings.
“What is this, mouthwash?” Camden laughs.
“So your breath isn’t too bad when you kiss Juju,” Dylan teases.
We all lift our glasses.
“To Camden and Juju,” Dad says.
“To Camden and Juju,” we all echo and slam our shots back.
“Whew, the burn,” I say, my eyes squinting.
“Lightweight,” Dylan says.
“It’s not too late to back out,” Noah tells Camden, smirking.
“Never happening,” Camden replies.
“I saw Juju. She looks like a dream,” Dad says. “Absolutely stunning.”
“Let’s get out there so I can see her.” Camden grins. “I love you guys. Thanks for helping us pull this off so fast.”
“No one’s complaining. I think you’ve got us all thinking about cutting our engagements short,” Milo says, lifting his glass again.
Dylan points at him.“Yes.”
It seems like they all turn to me as one.
“So…anything we’re gonna be hearing from you anytime soon?” Camden asks.
I laugh. “Come on. Let’s get you married. Your bride’s waiting.”
We walk out, and the room is full of all of our family and close friends. Music plays softly from the speakers. And suddenly, the whole place shifts into quiet anticipation.
Camden swallows.
“Okay,” he says. “Let’s do this.”
