Page 90 of The Summer Arrangement

“Seriously?” I ask in disbelief.

“Well, it is our fifth anniversary, and you’ve always said you wanted to travel.”

“But what about the kids?”

“Last I heard, everyone’s going. The guys don’t wanna be away from their families, and I’ve even convinced Lanie and Ryan to join us for a few weeks.”

“Were you planning a concert tour or a family vacation?” I ask in disbelief.

“With this crew, it’s more like the National Lampoon’s Family Vacation I’m sure.” Dad chuckles.

“A little of both.” Cameron shrugs. “When I told you I wanted forever with you, I meant with all of you.”

Leaning in, he kisses me chastely on the lips.

One kiss is never enough with Cameron, and he knows it.

With an impish grin, he reaches for my hand and says on a sigh, “I love this beautiful, crazy, and chaotic life we’ve built, Elizabeth. Who knew that magnificent summer arrangement we agreed to would end up like this?”
