CHAPTER FOURTEEN

DYLAN STOOD BACK and watched Jordan “dancing” with Corbin. She had him in her arms and was twirling him around, causing the boy to laugh.

Regina was right there on the makeshift dance floor, and she was snapping pictures along with the photographer. Eve and Lawson were dancing, too, but their moves weren’t as robust as Jordan’s. They were swaying to the music while gazing in each other’s eyes because they were caught up in the moment of just having said their “I do’s.”

Dylan was caught up in a different moment.

And he could blame Lucian for part of his mixed shit bag of a mood. His brother had really stepped in something he shouldn’t have been stepping anywhere around. But even if Lucian hadn’t pulled that stunt about the DNA test, Dylan figured that other blue memories would be playing into this.

For the past fourteen years, any wedding he’d attended came with memories of his own. Jordan had danced that day, too. With him. And they’d been just as wrapped up in each other as Lawson and Eve were now.

Of course, there was one huge difference between today and that past wedding. No one was glaring at the newlyweds, but there’d been plenty of glaring going on at his and Jordan’s celebration.

The general consensus that day was they had rocks for brains and that it wouldn’t last.

The consensus had been right.

But in that moment Dylan had thought it would be like this forever. That’s why the consensus was right about the rocks-in-the-head part, too.

When the song ended and a new one started, Jordan handed Corbin off to Regina so she could have her turn dancing. Jordan immediately glanced around the room, and the glancing stopped when her attention landed on him. She managed a smile. Not a good one, though. It was the kind of smile you gave someone who’d lost a race. An unspoken “oh well.”

Jordan gave Corbin another look before she started toward the bathroom. Dylan was about to go closer to his mom and Corbin so he could have the next dance with his son, but then he saw Eve making her way toward him. Dylan made sure he put on a big smile for her.

“Lawson and I are about to head back to my house so we can get ready to leave for the honeymoon,” Eve said. She brushed a kiss on his cheek and looked back at her groom, who was making his goodbyes to Regina and their cousins, Roman, Sophie and Garrett. “No family feud today,” she added in a whisper.

No. The feud had preceded the nuptials and hadn’t involved the cousins but rather Lucian. Dylan kept that to himself, though. No need to put any kind of damper on this day for her.

“Lawson said I should give this back to you,” Eve went on. She handed Dylan the wedding band that he’d lent his brother. “And if you don’t mind, would you please give this back to Jordan?” Eve pulled off the ring she was wearing and handed it to Dylan.
