There was no going back now.

She laughed; sheer joy rippled through her.“The kids will go berserk.”

“We’ll get Sky a princess dress for the wedding.And I can buy her diamonds.”

“Whoa, a wedding?”

One shoulder shrugged.“Whenever you’re ready.”

“I thought you didn’t want to—”

“I didn’t want to marry another woman, any other woman.You, I want to marry.”

No cooling his jets or denting his optimism.“If you let Sky pick her outfit, you’ll have to let Kye choose his.”

“What do you think?Buzz Lightyear or a Turtle?”

Oh, their son would be thrilled.

“Jane’s planning Roxie’s wedding.”

“Yeah, and we’re invited.”

“We are?Since when?”

“We’re part of the family now, apparently.Thank Sky for that one.”

“I like Roxie, and her girls.”

“No.No way, nothing big and flashy.”

“Where?”

“The Grand.”

He asked, “Which one?”But his expression betrayed he caught on fast.“Santa Clara?”Her touch trailed back.“Bastian will get a kick out of that.”

“Bastian?”A whiff of a memory drifted through her mind’s eye.“Did I meet him?”

“After the kids’ party when—it doesn’t matter, you’ll meet him again.”

“I thought Greg was the closest thing you had to a grown-up friend?”

“Of the variety I see every day.Bastian’s more of a… confidante.”

“So he knew about the twins too?Was I the only one abiding by the contract?”

“You’ll never have to worry about it again.Like I said to Andrews, we’ll be signing our names to a completely different contract.”

“As soon as I’m ready?”
