Looking around the table, my gaze lands on Kellan. As big as he is, he can be easy to overlook, thanks to his quiet nature. He’s the only one in the group who’s still single, and I have to wonder if he feels strange. Like the odd man out. I’ve been that person way too many times and remember how it feels.
But I don’t have to feel that way anymore. Never again.
“How about we go visit Grandma after school?” Easton suggests. “We can give her the good news you got this morning. We’ll take her to dinner and everything.”
“If she’s got the time,” Preston jokes. “Since she’s always so busy with her friends and her activities nowadays.”
“Are you kidding? If it has to do with Emma, she’ll drop everything.” Easton gives me a loving grin full of fondness for her.
I’m sure he’s right, too. She has always dropped everything for me. I’m so glad she’s finally living on her own terms. Thanks to the assistance programs through the hospital, the bills that kept her up at night aren’t a problem anymore. It’s like a gift, but then that’s how I feel every day. Life is a gift.
And it just so happens I have two incredible men to spend it with, along with the friends and family they’ve brought into my world to make it so much bigger and fuller than it ever was before.
While everyone talks about the party, I touch a hand to the pearls around my neck. Mom’s pearls are mixed in with the ones Easton and Preston bought for me, and somehow that makes all the sense in the world. It’s like my past and my future blended together on the same strand, a constant reminder of all the good that has existed in my life and still exists.
And now that I’ve gotten the best news imaginable from my team at the hospital, it feels like the sky’s the limit when it comes to how much better life will get. All I know is, I want Easton and Preston by my side, no matter what comes.
And when they look at me with love in their eyes, I know in my soul they’re not going anywhere. Not ever.
I can’t wait for the rest of my life.
