“How’s your–” Adler thought otherwise and said, “How’s Cheyanne? It’s Cheyanne, right?”

“Cheyanne or Lily, depends on who you ask,” Chris replied. “Thanks for helping out around here while Pax is away.”

“Morgan is planning some surprise. She told me she wanted me out of the house today. I told her she’s crazy. I came here to help with whatever you need.”

“A surprise, huh?”

“I don’t know… She does little things like that sometimes. I’ll get home, and there are flowers on the counter. Or, she’s planned a weekend away for us where we’ll camp and get away from everything. She really is an amazing girlfriend. I’m so lucky I found her.”

“I kind of feel the same way about your sister,” Chris offered.

“Pax is amazing. I’m glad you two have each other. She’s the most supportive person in the world. She’s brilliant and could have done anything she wanted. Ever since she started her own business, she’s been incredibly successful in her professional life. But in her personal life, she’s just never been really all that settled. What I’ve seen since she met you, though, is the opposite of that. And I’m so glad. My parents are, too. Even though we’ve both now moved away from them, they love the fact that we’re both finally settling down and that we’re happy.”

“They know about me?”

“Pax told them all about you. You didn’t know that?” Adler asked as she finished cleaning the roller they’d used to finish painting one of the rooms.

“She mentioned it; she just didn’t go into a lot of details.”

“She does that.” Adler laughed. “She told them all about you and Wes, though. We were on FaceTime with them. I could see how happy she was, and so could they. They’ll start giving her a hard time about meeting you soon.”

“I guess that’s the next step for us, huh?”

“Meeting the parents? It happens when you know you’ve met someone worth introducing to them, yeah. I know she feels that way about you.”

“I would have had her meet mine already, if that was an option,” Chris replied, placing a few stray paint brushes into an empty can to store overnight.

“How are you dealing with Cheyanne being around?”

“It’s been two days. I’m trying to be civil, for Wes. I know Paxton wants me to get to know her, too. I know they’re right. She’s an old woman, who’s lost everything. But there’s just something I can’t seem to let go of.”

“Is Pax pushing you to do this?”

“No.” Chris folded her arms over her chest. “As much as I thought your sister was a complete and total stuck-up asshole when we first met, she’s really the opposite of that. She’s supportive, like you said. And she’s so sweet sometimes. She doesn’t push me to do something specific; she just pushes me to be a better person.”

“I think that’s one of the benefits of falling in love with someone. Morgan makes me better, too.”

“I just don’t know if I’m doing anything for Pax,” Chris said.

“Are you kidding?” Adler chuckled.
