The drive home was surreal.

The plan had been for a short reception, but by the time we'd eaten the delicious food that my mother and Colette ordered, it was already nearly six. Then, Colette and Cam had wheeled out a two-tier wedding cake. Each tier was wrapped in a pink fondant ribbon and a beautiful fondant bow. A glistening pink candy rhinestone rested in the center of each bow. Just like the ones on my shoes.

I'd teared up again but managed to control the urge to cry.

So, that's how J.J. and I ended up cutting the wedding cake together and feeding each other a piece.

It was a piercingly sweet moment.

We finally left Crave around seven-thirty and the sun was drooping in the sky.

I sympathized because I was definitely drooping myself.

J.J. drove the car without speaking, letting me drowse in the passenger seat. Cam had come up with a pair of cheap flip flops that she'd left in her office a few months ago and insisted that I wear them home since my feet were still sore and swollen from my wedding shoes.

When J.J. turned down my driveway, I was suddenly very awake. It had been simmering in my head all day that tonight he was coming home with me and he was staying.

I'd changed the sheets on the bed in the guest room and cleaned out all the drawers in the dresser and the few boxes I had in the closet.

I didn't have a lot of stuff, mostly because I saved most of my money instead of buying things that might need to be stored. It was probably for the best since I now had a roommate of sorts.

"Um, the bedroom is cleaned out for you," I said. "And my brothers said they could come over and help you move things around if you want."

J.J. glanced at me, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. "I know. They mentioned it earlier at the reception."

I frowned. "You mean when they dragged you out to the alley to do whatever stupid thing they planned."

J.J. shook his head. "Nope. Nothing like that happened."

I shot him a disbelieving look, but he didn't say anything else.

"All the same, I'll probably ask Brody if I need help," he said, his tone dry.

I laughed a little. "That sounds wise. I think you've known my brothers long enough to know that they'd drop something on your foot because they thought it was funny."

He grinned and parked next to my car under the carport.

"You go in and put your feet up," he said. "I'll get the leftovers and the cake."

"I can help."

"You can help me figure out where I can put my stuff so it won't drive you insane this weekend."

I had to laugh because he was right on the money with that statement. I was particular about my environment, but I wanted him to feel like this was his house, too. It wasn't going to be easy to stop thinking of it as just mine.

"I promise I won't nag you about it," I said.
