doing?” I raised my voice so hopefully he’d catch a hint. “Aren’t you supposed to be delivering my things to your house?”
“I have something important to do first.” His voice got louder. Where did he go?
The front door of the moving van opened then the whole damn thing shook. A loud bang thundered over my head.
“Brooks?”
“Up here, Bee.”
I peered up and almost fell out of the truck. “What are you doing?”
“Well, you mentioned I didn’t woo you enough.”
“This is your idea of wooing?” I jumped down off the ramp to the street.
He was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the van. “I wanted the entire town to know just how serious I am about you.” He lifted the megaphone to his lips again. “Bonnie, you still out there?”
“Yes. Go on, future-son-in-law.”
I covered my eyes with my hands. “This is not happening.”
“Regina Maria Ramos—”
“Can you stop saying my full name? I feel like I’m in trouble.”
“You are in trouble. You’re going to have to deal with me for the rest of your life.”
“Again, you aren’t asking anything!” I shouted back.
“I love you, Bee.”
Tears sprung unchecked down my face. “You’re crazy.”
“I am. I’m crazy about you.” He rose, his arm tucked against his side. His incredible blue eyes were either red-rimmed from the cold or from tears. “Marry me.”
I shook my head. “Still no question mark in there, Brooks. I’m not a foregone conclusion.” But I really was, and I was okay with it.
I’d never tell him that though.
He tossed the bullhorn at me and climbed down the ladder on the side of the truck.
I was too busy laughing as he stalked toward me. He went down on one knee and held his hand out for the megaphone.
“I think we can do without it.”
He grinned up at me and fumbled in his pocket. With more pomp than I’d ever expected from my stoic best friend, he pulled out a velvet box and flipped it open. “Will you marry me, Bee? Take me and Sami and Sadie forever?”
“Oh, Brooks.” I couldn’t even see what was in the box through my tears, but I knew it would be perfect.
Well, perfectly Brooks.
I threw myself into his arms. “Yes. Yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Thank God.” He fell back onto the ground on his butt and I straddled him in the middle of Main Street. I held out my hand and he slipped the ring on, and then pulled me in for a kiss. “I’m going to make you the happiest woman in the world,” he said against my mouth.
“You’re going to drive me crazy is what you’re going to do.”
“Probably.” He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me hard, his lips cool and warm at the same time. And just maybe they were a little salty.
“You’re still living in sin until you get married, you know.”
We broke apart at the booming voice.
“Ma,” I laughed.
Bonnie had the megaphone now. “You’re all invited to the wedding.”
“Oh, shit.” Jared lifted me off the ground and stood. “Wait, Bonnie. We want a small wedding.”
“No, we don’t.” I moved over to stand by my mother. “I think I want a big wedding.”
Brooks paled. “You do?”
I smiled wider. “Oh, yeah. Think your brother will give us a deal?”
He blew out an exasperated breath. “Probably.”
“Good.” I ran over to him and jumped into his arms. “We’re getting married.”
He flashed me his hugest grin yet. “Damn straight, we are.”

CEO Daddy
I might be single and alone on New Year’s Eve. But I’m not woe as me. No, ma’am. I’m looking at this moment as an opportunity to cherish my solitude.
With a sigh, I set down my pen and picked up my water glass. I should be drinking alcohol at least. Maybe I still would. I wasn’t much of a wine fan, but I could use tonight to broaden my horizons. A cocktail sounded nice. Very adult.
A drink I could enjoy happily on my own.
Okay, cut the crap. In my diary, I should be honest. The diary I was writing in while I ate my dinner of consommé—fancy soup essentially—and garlic breadsticks, because who was I going to kiss at midnight? No one.
Joyfully solo, that was me.
In reality, I was fresh off another broken Tinder date. Broken by me, no less. I could never quite close the deal. Probably because a date with me held more weight than the usual hookup.
I’d been adult about that too. Virginity was a burden, so I’d just rid myself of it quickly and quietly. No fuss. Until the time came to actually meet Joe Blow in the flesh—yes, that was his name on the site—and I’d balked. I’d made up an excuse about getting together with an ex and that had been that.
As if I had any exes. Just a few high school boyfriends who hadn’t amounted to much.
Since then, I’d stuck close to home, the dutiful older sister who raised her younger siblings after our parents had died in a plane crash. Now that the twins, Emma and Rachel, had turned nineteen and gone off to college, that left me at loose ends.
Alone for real.
