“How many blue shirts does one person need?” Rafe demands as he holds out a navy-blue blouse for me to put on a hanger and add to the closet.

Since I’m officially staying in the master bedroom, Rafe offered the gorgeous closet to me since what he has doesn’t fill even a fraction of it.

I didn’t say no.

“There are many different shades of blue,” I inform him and take the blouse from him. “This is navy, but that next one is cerulean.”

“Cer-what?”

“Cerulean. And then you have your baby blue, cobalt, indigo, teal—”

“Okay, okay.” He laughs and passes me another top. “I get it. You need a lot of blue. And every other color, it seems.”

“I like clothes.” I shrug and open another new container of hangers. “Just wait until we find the box full of pretty party dresses. Those are my favorite. I don’t go to many parties or formal events, but a girl needs to have plenty of options on hand, just in case.”

“I can’t wait.”

I glance at him and grin. “You know, you don’t have to help me in here. I can manage all of this. I’m sure you have stuff to do.”

“I don’t mind.” His phone rings, just as mine does at the same time. “Shane.”

“Ivie.”

“Put us on speaker,” Ivie says as soon as I answer. Rafe already has Shane on speaker when I get Ivie set up, and then they both announce, “We’re getting married!”

“Uh, we know. Shane proposed weeks ago,” I reply.

“No, we’re getting married now,” Ivie says. “Well, soon anyway. We’re on our way to Seattle right now.”

“We haven’t finished with the plans,” I reply, starting to panic. “A lot goes into a wedding, Ivie.”

“That’s just it,” Shane adds. “We don’t really want a big wedding.”

“So, we’re going to Vegas!” Ivie squeals. “All of us. Get packed because we’re leaving tonight.”

“Who else is going?” I ask.

“Curt’s with us, much to his dismay,” Ivie says. Curt is one of Shane’s closest friends and the manager of Shane’s ranch in Colorado. “Nadia and Carmine are flying into Vegas tomorrow morning.”

“But they’re on their honeymoon.”

“They’re headed back this way, on their way to some posh spot in Europe. They’re going to make a stop in Vegas to celebrate with us.”

“Did you invite the parents?” Rafe asks his brother.

“We talked to Mom and Pop,” Shane says. “They’re fine with this, as long as we let Mom throw us a big reception at some point.”

Ivie’s parents are dead, but my family thinks of her as ours.

“Even Uncle Igor was happy with it,” Ivie adds. “It’s all set. Seriously, pack. Oh my gosh, it’s going to be so fun.”

They both hang up, and Rafe and I just stare at each other in surprise and then bust up laughing.

“So, I guess we’re going to Vegas.”

“Never a dull moment with this family,” he says, shaking his head and tapping on his phone.

“I’ll finish unpacking a few boxes, and then I’ll pack. They won’t be here for a while yet.”

I pull the tape on a box, open the flaps, and hear Rafe mutter, “Good God.
