“We could wait. Plan something big if you want. I’m sure we can convince Jonah.”

I look over at Jonah as he and Tommy play on the sidewalk.

“No, this is what I want. Just the six of us. I already had a big, fancy wedding. It was huge, had way too many people, was way too expensive, and while it was fun, it wasn’t me. The wedding doesn’t matter as much as the life we build.”

“Good. There’s no way Tommy would sit still long enough for us to make it down the aisle, anyway. We have less than an hour before he starts tugging off parts of that suit.” He takes my hand in his and guides me up the steps.

“You’re probably right.”

“We could always do a small reception later so our friends can celebrate with us.”

“That’s a good idea. But I’ll hire the cake decorator. Knowing Bella, she’d show up with a three-tiered giant dick cake.”

Sawyer chuckles. “Probably not the most kid-friendly option.”

“Nope. And let’s keep it small, like my birthday. Nothing too loud so Jonah isn’t triggered.”

McKenna rushes to open the doors to City Hall for us. “Can we dress up in fancy dresses and throw rose petals?”

“I don’t see why not,” Sawyer says, gesturing for me to go first.

“Can I wear my turtle costume?” Tommy asks.

I chuckle. “Sure.”

Exactly thirty-seven minutes later, we say “I do.”
