“Happy birthday, Little Red.” A deep voice pulls me from my sleep, and at first, I think I’m dreaming.

Hudson’s on the edge of my bed, his strong hand pushing away the hair from my eyes. The only word that could describe the look on his face is sheer adoration.

“Hudson?” I scrunch my nose, unsure if what I’m seeing is real or a figment of some dream.

“Yes, baby?” He gives me a soft smile as if him waking me up and calling me baby is the most natural thing in the world. Is he on something?

“What are you doing here, and where are our parents?” I sit up, looking around the room, trying to see if someone else is in here with us.

Nope. Just us.

“They’re in the mother-in-law suite. They haven’t come in for breakfast yet.” He hands me a small red box, a sparkle of excitement shining in his eyes. “I wanted to give you your present before anyone else was up.”

It’s my eighteenth birthday, and the reason our parents are still lingering in Dallas after the fiasco of a wedding yesterday.

To say that yesterday’s nuptials served enough drama for a lifetime would be an understatement, and I’m not only talking about Hudson’s ex. Poor Aiden and Charlotte had to deal with their own issues, marring William and Bella’s special day.

I’m just glad everyone is safe and the worst is behind us.

“Well, aren’t you going to open it?” Hudson cocks a brow, looking at me expectantly.

A slow smile spreads across my lips as I open up the box, the interior revealing a keychain with a depiction of a wolf and a set of keys I know all too well.

My nose scrunches and brows furrow. “Big red?”

“Big Red for my Little Red.” Hudson’s face splits into a grin. “She’s ready. Want to go see?”

I grab onto the keychain and giggle. “If I’m Little Red, then does that make you the big bad wolf?”

Hudson smirks, pressing a chaste kiss to my lips and pulling me by the hand toward the door. Thank god I have shorts and a cami on. The last thing I’d want to be doing is flashing our parents if they’ve managed to make it into the house.

As soon as we step foot in the garage, my jaw drops. Front and center is Big Red, but she’s all shiny and new. She has a fresh coat of paint, new tires and a massive bow on top of the hood.

“Hudson. Oh my god!” I screech, running up to the driver’s side and pulling the door open. “Oh my god! She’s fully restored! How?”

“As soon as I saw her, I knew she needed some love and care.” He walks around to the passenger side and hops in. “I wanted her for myself, but after realizing who you were...” His smile drops and something flashes in his eyes, “and what she meant to you, I couldn’t take her. Anyway, she’s now part of the family, and there’s no way I could’ve left her unattended.
