Kairo clutches at my hand. “Not at all! I could never be mad. Iloveyou, Devon. I love you so much that even saying that feels like a disservice to how deeply I feel for you. I love our little family and I want it to be bigger. I’m here for you. Always.”

My heart races and tears sting at the corners of my eyes.

The ring Kairo offers blurs as I stare at it, then I sink to my knees and throw my arms around his neck.

“Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you!”

Soft cheers and applause rise up from everyone in the lounge while Kairo pulls me into his arms and kisses me.

His tears of joy mingle with my own, and we laugh against one another’s lips.

“Another baby,” I gasp. “Are you ready for this?”

“I’m ready for anything,” Kairo replies. “And I know you’re going to look hot as fuck in a wedding dress.”

His mouth claims mine and my heart soars, excitement swelling in my chest.

We’ve been everything from strangers in a bar with fake names to fake-engaged turned contract married.

Now, at last, we’re a proper family.
