Six
After the brief ceremony, the seven of them all went to a late lunch together. Olivia was still skeptical of James, and it showed.
âYou have to be nice to my aunt Stephanie,â she said after watching him for a good long while.
âI do? What happens if Iâm not nice to her?â James was curious about the kind of threat a small girl could come up with.
âI will kick you and hit you and pull your hair, and then Iâll have Aunt Brittany and Uncle Matt do the same. I love my aunt Stephanie.â
âThat sounds really scary. I guess Iâll have to be nice to her. I can do it if I try hard enough, right?â
Olivia nodded gravely. âYou can.â
Stephanie was more than a little surprised by the fierce loyalty the little girl was showing. âWhat day do you ride?â she asked softly, trying to change the subject.
âIâd have to check my schedule. Monday, I think.â
âWill you be disappointed in me if I canât make myself watch it? The idea of seeing you try to ride a bull sends cold chills down my spine.â
He reached over and covered her hand with his. âIâd like to see you in the stands if you can do it, but I completely understand if you canât.â He was glad she already felt strongly enough for him that it would bother her.
âIâll try. I really will.â Stephanie looked over at Emily, knowing her sisters understood what was going through her mind. âIâm sure it would help me write another song.â
He laughed. âIs everything song writing-fodder for you?â
âAbsolutely! Why else do you think I came to Vegas?â
âTo sing?â he asked. He brought her hand to his lips, not caring they had an audience. âAnd to marry me.â
âI still canât believe it was you Iâve been feeling panicked about marrying all week. You really could have told me.â She shook her head at him, wondering if he had really not said anything because of her brothers-in-law.
Matt shook his head. âThat was my decision. Well, mine and Chrisâs. We thought it would be harder for you to get to know him if you knew he was the guy at the end of the aisle.â
Stephanie frowned. âI wish youâd just told me, but I guess itâs fine. I did have a lovely week getting to know James.â
âDid you think to pack up all your stuff so you can move rooms tonight?â James asked.
âI did. I have a few things out but not much. What you really need to know is every night I have to join my sisters in serenading Olivia. She needs âPuff the Magic Dragon,â and we try to always give it to her.â
James looked down at the little girl, who simply wasnât warming up to him. âHave you listened to âLipstick on my Jeansâ? I think thatâs a better song than Puff.â
Olivia glared at the man. âAunt Brittany, would you make James go away?â
âHeâs Uncle James now,â Brittany reminded the little girl. âI canât make him go away, because heâs married to Aunt Stephanie.
