I spent the rest of the afternoon following up on the phone calls I owed everyone – including my agent. Then I called Cade. I wanted to find out how his graduation party went last night and if Ainsley accepted his proposal.

He answers on the second ring. “Yo, Edwards!”

“Hey, bruh. You sound awfully chipper, so it seems things went according to plan. Or maybe you went down in flames and realize twenty-two is too young to get suckered into marriage,” I cackle, throwing in that punch. I’m just goading him. He knows it.

“Eh, fuck you, C. It was epic. Ainsley had no clue I was going to propose. I was fucking stealthy as hell.”

I find this hard to believe. Cade’s a loud-mouthed, chatterbox who can’t keep a secret to save his life.

“Riiigght.” I say with enough sarcasm to sink a boat. “So, how’d it go down?”

Before I left for my trip to Seattle, I apologized profusely to Cade for missing out on his party. I really do feel bad for not being there for my best friend’s monumental moment, but I needed time away to clear my head. My life is about to change in a big way in the next few weeks and I needed to prepare for the unknown.

Cade starts prattling off a bunch of details about the party. “I wanted to keep the actual proposal private, ya know? So I asked Ky and Van to get everyone back in the house at five o’clock so it was just Ains and me out on the patio. She honestly didn’t even notice because I got her talking about one of her new patients.”

I laugh along with him knowing how much Ainsley loves to discuss her work. She’s a CNA in an assisted-living facility where she gives her heart and soul to her aging and elderly patients. She’s a good catch for Cade.

He continues, “Then I got down on one knee, my hand in my pocket with the ring and she finally notices everyone peering out of the glass doors and windows, watching the scene go down. I gave her my spiel that I’d been practicing for weeks and still wound up fucking it up…but she got the gist of it. Started crying and then I got all choked up and shit. Fuck, man. I think I was more nervous in that moment than I was at any of our championship games! My hands were shaking, dude. I looked like a chump.”

“You are a chump, Griff. A stupid, fucking, love-struck idiot. But don’t leave me hanging. What’d she say?”

Cade laughs at me like I’m the idiot. “Dude, she said yes, of course.”

“Uh-huh.”

There’s no doubt Ainsley’s in love with Cade, but she’s a very independent and strong chick and has proven she doesn’t need a man to take care of her. If anything, it’s the other way around. Cade doesn’t realize it, but he’d been waiting for someone like Ainsley for a long time.

It makes me wonder about Logan. She’s gone through a lot on her own over the years.
