“Right. Come on. I’ll sneak you out before Jonah starts yelling again.”

“Wait.” I touch her arm as she stands. “Jonah is yelling at people?”

“He’s taken charge of this entire thing. And just between you and me? The kid’s got a lot going for him besides all those muscles.”

“Good to know.”

My phone pings. Aidyn.

I need you, love.

It’s nine in the morning. Didn’t you get enough last night?

Not that. Get your arse over here.

Please?

On my way.

When I get to the diner, Lanie points upstairs. “He’s having a meltdown.”

“About what?”

She rolls her eyes. “His clothes.”

Surely he knows I don’t care what he wears. When I get to his room, I knock. No response. “Aidyn?”

The door flies open. He looks around and then tugs me inside the room. He’s in sweatpants.

“It’s a bold choice, sweetheart.”

“What?” He glances down. “No.” He drags a hand through his already unruly hair and sits on the bed. “When Emily and I got married,” he says, watching me for my reaction, “I was trying to impress her family. I didn’t want to make any waves and her family…your family, especially your parents, have certain ideas.”

They really do. “What’s going on, Aidyn?”

He lets out a heavy sigh. “I’m just gonna say it, love.” But he still hesitates for a second. “I want to wear my kilt. It’s a traditional Irish wedding kilt. If you don’t?—”

“God, please wear your kilt.” I kiss him hard on the mouth. “You could go naked for all I care.”

“About that.” A slight blush spreads across his cheeks. “You might have heard that Scotsman don’t wear anything under their kilts.”

“…but you’re not Scottish.”

“Neither do the Irish.”

I kiss him again. “I will never object to you going commando. And I am so going to enjoy our wedding night.”

I’m nervous as hell. I have no idea what to expect. Which doesn’t make sense because I’ve been involved in many weddings over the last year. But I trust my team. Mostly.

Aidyn and I arrive in our respective vehicles, but we don’t get to see each other. Orders from Jonah.

Earlier today, Aidyn told me Ramon is going to rent the upstairs apartment over the diner from him. He’s also taking over the baking. That will give Aidyn and me more time together since he won’t have to go in as early. Lanie is excited about living on the farm, especially with Maple right here. And my farm isn’t far from where Zoey lives. Lanie was surprised to learn that I know how to ride. I learned when I was a kid. Now we’re going to go riding together.

When I arrive at the event hall, Jonah waves me into a room to get dressed. And presents me with the perfect tux.

“Wow.” The material is exquisite. “Where did Nat find this?”

Jonah puts his hands on his hips and glares at me. “I do have skills other than lifting things.”
