“I can honestly say that I’ve never had quite this much fun cooking before.” Isabelle laughed as she gathered another bite of pasta on her plate. “You almost let me ruin it, but it still tastes okay.”

“It tastes better than anything I’ve had in a restaurant.”

“Who had today in the pool?”

“What?”

“The betting pool they have on us. Who had today?”

“Why do you think there’s a pool?”

Isabelle looked at me knowingly. “Don’t try to deny it.”

“Luke.”

“That devious bastard,” Isabelle hissed. “He tricked me into buying him lunch and then he won money off of us.”

“How’d he trick you?”

Isabelle shrugged. “We were lifting this morning, and I was giving him advice on women. I told him he should try being friends first, and he asked if that was why I put you in the friend zone. I told him you weren’t interested in me, you were into some girl. He pointed out that I was that girl.”

“You were.” I laughed. “But I was following your advice, hoping you’d see I was trying and give me a chance.”

“Even with what you know about me, um, and what I did . . . you still want to date me?” Isabelle sounded so unsure of herself that it made me sad for her. I put my fork down and turned to face her. “I told you what happened when I was a kid and then about Pete. I didn’t know if that might make a difference.”

“The only difference it makes is how amazing it is that you went through the worst of the worst growing up and became the incredible woman you are today.”

“Really?”

“Really.

“Thanks.” Her smile was bright now. I made a note to myself to try and remember to boost her up every chance I got just so I could see it again.

We heard the garage door kick on, and Isabelle jolted with surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ve got to put some clothes on!” She jumped up and ran toward her room. “I don’t want anyone else to see me in this fucking bikini! It’s indecent!”

“You wore that thing on purpose?” I yelled after her.

“I was damn near naked, Stoffer! Jesus! Of course I wore it on purpose!”

“What are you two yelling about now?” Grady chuckled as he walked into the kitchen.

“Your future sister-in-law is devious.”

Grady shrugged. “Not surprising.”

Isabelle came back into the kitchen wearing a pair of sweatpants and a long t-shirt that had the Kings Customs logo on the front of it.

“Hey! That’s my shirt!” Grady growled.

“Technically, it was your shirt. Then it became our shirt. Then I loaned it to my sister.” Ella laughed as she walked through the kitchen holding her daughter’s hand.

“Now it’s my shirt.” Isabelle smiled. “See how that works?”

“What the hell?” Grady whispered, shaking his head as he looked at me. “I’m outnumbered.”

“And outgunned.” Isabelle smirked. “How was dinner?”

“It was good!” Cydney crawled up onto the barstool beside me and looked at my plate. “Can I have a bite?”

“Sure.” I pushed my plate in front of the little girl, and she picked up my fork and started eating.
