Clara made a strangled sound and turned to them with wide eyes. Then she started to cry. “A grandbaby?”

“Ma.” Vander moved to his mother and hugged her.

“My baby is having a baby. I thought the day would never come!” She sobbed some more.

A moment later, Brynn was engulfed in a perfumed hug. She met her husband’s gaze over Clara’s head. She knew her mother-in-law would instantly start trying to feed her all the time. For a brief moment, Brynn almost wished she was back battling Navarro’s men.

“Okay.” Clara patted Brynn’s back. “You need to eat. It’s important. You’re growing a small human being. I’m making lasagna,andgarlic bread,andcannoli. We need to celebrate.” She hurried to the kitchen.

Vander wrapped an arm around Brynn. “Sorry.”

“Let her have her moment.” She tipped her face up and studied her husband. He looked…happy. All the tension and stress were gone. The distance between them was a thing of the past.

It looked like coming on vacation had been the right choice after all, even if things hadn’t quite gone according to plan.

“There’s barely anything in this pantry,” Clara shouted from the kitchen. “Ethan, we need to find a grocery store.”

Stifling a laugh, Brynn wrapped her arms around Vander and pressed her face to his chest. She felt his chest shaking with silent laughter.

Right here and now, she had everything she’d ever wanted and life was good.
