CHAPTER THIRTEEN

DREW

I can’t believe the last few weeks passed by so quickly and we’re leaving for Texas in just a few hours for Benita’s baby shower. Weeks have passed and Mia has almost turned into a distant memory—for now. I haven’t stopped looking over my shoulder or double-checking locks. Above all else, it’s important my girl stays safe. The cameras we’ve installed have done their job thus far, and I’ll be watching them while we’re away since Buddy is staying with Kayla. Though there are days where I’m the one protecting him from his own shadow, I’ve grown to love his shaggy face, dog breath, and how he thinks he can sit on my lap like a puppy.

Once we’re at the airport and make it through security, we grab some coffee and wait at the gate until boarding.

“So, have you thought anymore on that last house we looked at?” Courtney asks and then takes a sip of her coffee. Her bright blue eyes stare straight into mine, sending a jolt of electricity to soar through me.

“The one with the big backyard, huge kitchen, and the bathtub that can fit us both?”

Her lips curl into a sweet smile and she nods. “Yes, that one.”

“I really like it. I think there’s a lot of room for us to grow and would be perfect for a starter family.”

She tucks her lips inside her mouth and a hint of blush hits her cheeks. Lately I’ve found myself talking more about a forever with her because a future without her doesn’t exist for me.

“I agree.” She nods. “And it’s really close to Viola and Travis, so we’ll get to see the kids even more.” She grabs my hand and squeezes. “I just have a really good feeling about it.”

“I do, too,” I say truthfully. It checks most of the boxes on our dream list and it’s within our budget. “You think we should put in an offer?”

“Yes! Let’s call Kathy right now,” Courtney says and I lean over, brush my hand against her cheek and kiss her. Our lips form into smiles and though we’re in a noisy airport, the only person I can pay any attention to is Courtney.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and call the real estate agent and officially give her our offer to write up. She was very excited for us and was confident our offer would be accepted. Courtney’s watching me, sitting on the edge of her seat as I talk about the house. I whisper I love you to her and she whispers it back.

As soon as I end the call, she speaks. “What did she say? Tell me everything!” She’s anxious and excited, and I love seeing her this way.

“She’s going to submit our offer before lunch,” I say and Courtney wraps her arms around my neck and laughs. “She said we should hear something by Monday at the latest.”

“I’m seriously crossing my fingers and toes right now.
