I hand my camera to Madison. “I’ll be right back. Download what I have so far, and we’ll start fresh.”

She nods and walks over to the table.

Evan is waiting outside the room. She’s still in her jeans and T-shirt that says The Bagel Shop. She’s not wearing makeup but still manages to look cute as hell. Even with a little bit of flour in her hairline.

“You’re early,” I say.

“Sorry, my mom said she’d close, and I didn’t want to argue. You really need to tell me what happened this morning with my dad, because my mom is acting like I’m still dating Brock.”

I sit in the chair next to her. “Seriously? Your dad didn’t tell your mom?”

She shakes her head.

“I asked for your hand in marriage.”

She blanches and blinks a few times. “And?”

“He doesn’t believe us. I mean, he questioned me about you dating Brock and I said that we were secretly dating and that it’s still early, but I really want to lock you down.”

“You said that?”

I laugh and place my hand on her leg to stop it from shaking. “In a manner of speaking. I did say I love you.”

Her gaze moves up and locks with mine. It’s filled with questions. Maybe because I take pictures of women all day long, but I can often read what a woman is thinking.

“I had to. We wouldn’t get married if we didn’t love one another.”

She nods. “Yeah. Totally. Yeah.” But she still seems shaken.

“He wants a family dinner this Saturday. And he wants me to propose to you then. Is it possible your mom does know but she’s trying to act surprised?”

She shakes her head. “That’s not my mom’s style. She’d question me for sure. Why does my dad think it’s not real?”

I shrug. I’ve been trying to figure that out all day. What did I do to give off that vibe? “I think maybe it’s because he thinks we would’ve come to them sooner with the fact we were dating. Or that they would’ve heard it from someone who saw us around town together.”

Her head falls into her hands. “We should’ve done the dating thing first and then gone into the engagement. We went too big too soon.”

I squat in front of her and take her hands. “We did not. We had to go big. And they’ll believe us as long as we make it believable on Saturday.”

“Okay. That’s the whole reason we did the game thing, right?”

“Exactly. We got this. They’ll believe us,” I try to assure her, but she still covers her face with her hands.

The door squeaks open and Madison stares at the scene in front of her as though she doesn’t understand what she’s looking at.

“We’re doing so much lying,” Evan murmurs.

I shoo Madison away with my hand and she closes the door.

“It’ll be worth it. I hate lying too, but this is for our future and theirs. They just don’t know it.” I place a finger under her chin and guide it up so she’s looking into my eyes.
