Before Keatyn gets back from the bathroom, her chef, Marvel, comes into the room. When he walks into a kitchen anywhere in the world, he takes command of the space.

“I’m told your customary birthday meal is chicken and waffles. I have taken the liberty of preparing the fried chicken but wanted to wait until you had awoken before cooking the waffles. I have to say, this is a very odd combination.”

“You’ve never had chicken and waffles?” Dallas asks. “Marvel, you are in for a treat.”

Marvel sticks his nose up in the air, like the thought is beneath him, and gets to work, heating up a large waffle iron and then pouring an already prepped batter into it. Soon, the room is filled with a wonderful sweet scent.

“Oh, that smells good,” Keatyn says, returning.

“You feel okay?” I ask.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Being pregnant is kind of weird. The nausea comes on suddenly, but for the most part, it’s over just as quickly. Like, I’m ready to eat some breakfast now.”

“Thank you for making my favorite,” I say gratefully, locking eyes with her.

She’s been my best friend for so long, and she never forgets stuff like this.

I get up to give her a squeeze. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Riley. You know I love you.”

“Better not let your new husband hear that,” Aiden teases as he comes into the room. He’s dressed up. Full suit, tie, and wing tips.

“You look hot as fuck,” Keatyn says, letting out a whistle and fanning her face. “What is it about a man in a suit?”

I stare at her in shock. She doesn’t usually speak so vulgar. Maybe it’s the pregnancy talking.

“Why are you all dressed up so early in the morning?” Dallas asks.

Aiden laughs and glances at his watch. “It’s almost noon. Speaking of that, do I smell Riley’s usual birthday meal? Chicken and waffles?”

“You know it,” Dallas says. “Marvel isn’t so sure about the combination though.”

“So, where were you?” I ask Aiden. “Keatyn said something about a business meeting. Moon Wish stuff?”

“No, actually, there’s a reason we bought a home in London. Keatyn and I are going to be here more often. And, with the babies coming, I can’t imagine staying in hotels.”

“Is this the wine-bar thing you mentioned?” Dallas asks.

I swear, he always knows everything that’s going on with everyone.

“Yeah, I met with the engineer and the owner of the construction company we’ve chosen to restore the hotel. If all goes well, we’ll be open in four months. The structure is in surprisingly good shape, so that was great news. And we can get it going before the babies are born.”

“Wait,” I say. “You’re opening a hotel?”

“No, it’s sort of a weird concept. A restaurant combined with a wine-tasting room and retail space. Like what we have at the vineyard. I bought an old hotel building that we’ve nearly stripped down to the studs.”

“It’s going to be so cool,” Keatyn interjects. “It’s got a lot of character that will be combined with an industrial look to give it a laid-back vibe.
