“Yes. Georgie is my sister. Oh, yes. I know you as well. From the wedding, yes?”

“You all know each other?” Vi asked in surprise as I took in the blonde, recognizing her as one of Georgie’s bridesmaids. We’d gone to Mac’s family’s home in Delaware the September after we’d moved to the Bay Area for their wedding. Violet hadn’t been with us. She’d been in the start of her freshman year.

I laughed and said, “What a strange, small world.”

Vi and Raisa made their way into the apartment where I heard Vi squeal at the drawing I’d left on the table when Truck had come in. I slapped him playfully on the head. “See what you made me do?”

“What?” he asked with a smirk I never got tired of.

“You distracted me and kept me from finishing her present.”

He kissed me slow and demanding in a beautiful way that would forever grab my heart.

He moved from my lips to my neck and whispered as he went, “How long do we have before she notices we haven’t followed them?”

“God, not nearly long?”

“Stop smooching and come in here so I can hug you for my new comic!” Vi shouted.

Truck kissed me one more time on the lips, then grabbed my hand, and tugged me toward the room lit up with the light of the sun going down, and the light of love shining from my sister, and Truck, and me. From the family I had and the family we were making.

There was nothing that could ever be better than this. It was one of my best days. But then, every day with Truck was one of my best days. I was living my best life with seven beautiful things to be grateful for.
