MY POOR SISTER. All alone with little Miss Evie. I can just imagine her rocking Evie while sending this text and listening to her baby girl cry. It’s all a phase. But I already know she’s going to miss it when Evie’s over it. Maybe not the crying, but the wanting to be held. Shit, Joseph may miss it even more.

Just left. I type the message and add, Love you, just as she sends back her response.

THANKS. Love you.

THE TRACE of a smile picks my lips up, but then I see the time. Shit. I have to get my ass going. The ring flips back and forth as I roll my fingers over the thin band, making my way out.

There’s no way in hell I’m not getting married. My ma would kill me. Just the thought makes my steps down the stairs lighter. I’m not getting any younger. And it’s about damn time I had someone in my life. Someone like Grace. I don’t know if she’s the one. My heart flips at the thought of her in a white dress.

I want her, I know that much. But I don’t have to know any more than that. She’s mine for now, and we’re both enjoying ourselves. That’s what matters. There’s no need to put a label on it.

I grab my jacket off the coatrack and slip on my boots. She should be there tonight, but she’s got a thing with my sister first. A deep chuckle vibrates up my chest. I’m sure she’ll have plenty to say about that.

Before I get in the car, I slip the ring in my pocket, knowing the church right up the street has a donation bin. I’m tossing the ring in there before I get to work. I need it gone and out of my life. There’s no way I’d give this ring to my wife. All this ring represents is my past. It was meant for Suzanne.

I never wanted her back. That ring was just a reminder of what I was going to end up with.

I’ll never settle. As that thought passes through my mind, I realize I should’ve thrown that damn thing away a long time ago.
