CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Keaton

Shocked silence rings out in the room for a few beats until Keanu breaks it. “That’s not news to me.”

“It isn’t?” I ask, disbelief clear in my tone.

Keanu nods. “I mean, I didn’t know for sure, but I had my suspicions.” He looks me straight in the eye. “I could tell you and Melissa weren’t right for one another, and I guess I had a sixth sense about it.”

“I did too,” Kalvin agrees. “But it was more to do with Keats’ love of tight, brightly colored mismatched clothing when he was younger. Now it all makes sense.” He flashes me a cheeky grin. “Remember the illuminous pink shirt you wore the night of my eighteenth?”

“My eyeballs still haven’t recovered,” Kade quips. He turns to his wife. “I’m sure we’ve got some pictures around here someplace. It has to be seen to be believed.”

She elbows him in his side before pinning me with a warm smile. “Don’t mind them, Keaton. They’ve got the maturity of five-year-olds.”

I know their ribbing is in good humor and this is just the way we handle things chez Kennedy.

Brad snorts, grinning. “Don’t forget the ballet. He was such a pretty little twinkle toes.”

I flip him the bird, but I can’t keep the grin off my face. “Hey, homophobic assholes. News flash. Wearing pink and doing ballet does not mean you’re gay.”

“What about ogling the male models in the catalogs Mom used to bring home?” Kev lifts a brow, his lips twitching. “I know I caught you doing that a couple times.”

“Try like a hundred times,” I admit, gradually feeling the tension seep from my knotted shoulders.

“I caught you checking out Brad’s ass one time.”

My eyes pop wide at the unexpected familiar voice.

Rachel holds up her phone, and a sleepy-looking Kyler and Faye smile back at me. “I arranged it,” Rachel says, answering my unspoken question as she hands me her cell. “I knew they’d want to be a part of this.”

“You heard,” I stupidly say, talking to my brother and his wife.

“We did,” Kyler says. “I’m proud of you, dude.”

The lump in my throat swells, and my heart is fit to burst.

“We love you, Keats.” Faye blows me a kiss, her gorgeous brown eyes glassy with unshed tears. “I wish I was there so I could hug you and show you how much.”

“I wish you were here too, but it means a lot that you stayed up for this.”

“Family is everything,” Ky says, hugging his wife to his chest. Faye leans back, tilting her head up to look at her husband, and they share one of their lovestruck looks.

All my brothers are crazy in love with their women, but the way Faye and Kyler look at one another is on a whole other level. They are so in love, and I hope that years down the line Austen and I are as wrapped up in one another as they are. Couple goals, for sure.

“Sweetheart.” Mom calls out, drawing my attention. “Come sit beside us.” She pats the space in between her and Dad, and emotion sweeps through the room like fog.
