Jewel seemed to revert to her shy, insecure ways the closer we got to Blake and Delilah’s. I’d have given anything to have back the spunky girl I was coming to know.

I parked and clasped her hand in her lap. She was beautiful tonight in form-fitting jeans and a flowy shirt that matched her eyes. “You nervous?”

“No.” She said it a little too quickly and smiled to cover it. “I’m not sure what I’m feeling.”

“We don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Or I can leave and pick you up later, if that makes you more comfortable.”

“No. There’s nothing to be worried about. It’s only dinner.”

“With friends.”

“With friends,” she agreed.

“And your boyfriend.”

Her eyes flew back to mine. “Boyfriend?”

“Well, what else should we call it? We’re officially in this together, remember?” I echoed the same words she’d used with me after my nightmare.

Her smile grew to epic proportions. “We are, aren’t we?”

I leaned over until our lips were a whisper apart, our breath mingling. “We are.” I kissed her soundly then pressed my lips to the hollow where her cheek met her ear. “I’ve got you, Jewel. I will always take care of you.”

Her eyes slid shut. “You promise?”

“Swear on my life.”

“Okay.” Her voice trembled, but she’d squared her shoulders. “Let’s go inside and face the inquisition.”

“That’s really why they invited us tonight, isn’t it?”

“Of course it is. Apparently, the girls have had bets on us going for a while now.”

“For real?”

She popped open her door. “For real. What I really want to know is who won?”

We laughed and walked to the door, our hands linked. We glanced at each other as the door opened, our eyes communicating the secrets only we held.

Delilah’s eyes dipped down to our hands then back up with a cheesy grin. “Hey, guys. Come on in.” She swung the door wide and we stepped through to find ourselves surrounded by laughter and kids and instant scrutiny. Our friends were terrible at being subtle.

Blake caught me at the fridge when I left Jewel alone with the girls and ducked in for a drink. “So, you and Jewel, huh?”

I peered up and quirked my brow. I’d do anything for my friends, but I wouldn’t stand for any negative talk that would hurt Jewel.

He lifted a hand in surrender. “Hey. I’m happy for you. Just surprised.”

Jesse ambled in with Trace, deep in discussion about kids, effectively killing the conversation. “I can’t believe it’s been almost eight years since I’ve had any practice with this,” Trace said, sipping his beer. “I think I’ve forgotten everything.”

Jesse laughed and they sat at the table. “Like riding a bike, I’m sure.” He shot a grin our way as Blake and I pulled out chairs to join them. “So . . . you and Jewel, huh?”

“You, too?”

“What? It’s news.” I shot him a glare. “Good news. For what it’s worth, Rach is super happy about it.”

I sipped my water and nodded, not sure what to say. I wasn’t used to sharing anything of myself and this felt even more personal.
