“Yep. Don’t worry. The cheap chocolate bar you bought to replace Bean’s stash after you accidentally ate it is safe with me.”
“I think she knows it wasn’t the good stuff. I owe her.”
“You know, Jack will be at the wedding.”
My eyes widen. “You’re right. Maybe I could have him bring her some of it. I’ll pay for it, of course, but then she won’t suspect me.” Then I shake my head. “No, I can’t lie. And she’d throw it in the trash if she thought it was from Jackie.”
“What happened between them, anyway?”
“It’s a long story, but let’s just say she’s committed to her work.”
“I know a guy like that.”
“Do you mean Magnus?”
“Yep. You don’t think the two of them—?”
“No, not a good match. Not with Ryan either, who’s the opposite and has dated a lot.”
“I vote no on CJ, no offense. I think they have more of a sibling thing going on.”
“But I do want to see my brothers as happy as you’ve made me.”
I kiss Royal on the cheek. “Likewise.”
He kisses my cheek. “You’ve got some paint there.”
“Don’t I always?” With my paint supplies cleaned up, I glance over my shoulder at the progress of the mural as we walk over to the Galleon building.
“It’s picture perfect.”
“And just think, the best is yet to come.”
It’s not our wedding day, not yet, but I can envision Royal and me here, surrounded by our friends and family, celebrating the past and the future.
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll add that to the mural too.
