find out what Luna and Cyrus are up to? I miss them.”
“They’re both working.” One of the things that hadn’t changed about my friend since she’d married her Prince Charming was her work ethic. They’d hired people to help out whenever they weren’t in the city, but otherwise, she still insisted on working full time.
Few people ever thought about what happened after the happily-ever-after, but for Luna, it had really been everything she’d ever wanted. She had a loving, devoted husband who made her laugh and, much to my disappointment, was her best friend. It didn’t hurt that he was hot as hell or loaded either, but she refused to admit that had anything to do with it.
She got to travel and she’d also gotten to not only keep her flower shop but expand it. She and Cyrus had worked together to turn her into one of the most sought-after florists in the city for weddings and functions.
Her happily-ever-after had really seen every one of her dreams coming true—and then some. Unfortunately, that now meant that I had to share her with not only Cyrus but every starry-eyed bride in the city.
They vied for her attention and she gave it to them since she adored love and weddings even more now than she had before. I hadn’t even known it could be possible for her, but it had been, and it had happened.
Where I used to see her a few times a week, I now had to make do with once every few weeks. Well, except for that time right after the accident when she’d popped in every day.
It had taken some adjusting on my part, but she was so happy that I really couldn’t complain about the time-sharing. It was the natural course of life, I supposed.
Adi snapped me out of my reverie when she got off the couch. I looked up at her, frowning when she started toward the door.
“Where are you going?” I asked.
“Didn’t you hear the knocking?”
“Nope.” I jumped up and motioned for her to stay behind me. With that fucking gate downstairs having been open again this morning, God only knew who could be at the other side. Just in case it was Craig or one of his buddies, I didn’t want Adi anywhere within grabbing distance.
“Who is it?” I called once I reached the door.
“Chris.”
Unexpected warmth spread through my chest at the sound of his voice. I undid the latch with shaky fingers and smiled as I stepped back to let him in.
“Hey.”
He grinned, holding up two gorgeous bouquets of flowers. “Good morning, ladies. Happy Saturday.”
Adi came out from behind me and squealed when he handed a bouquet to her. She brought it to her nose immediately and inhaled deeply. “These are so pretty. Did you get them from Luna? She knows Gerbera daisies are my favorite.”
Confusion flicked across Chris’s eyes, but he shook his head. “I didn’t know they were your favorite or that I could get flowers from Luna, but I’ll keep that in mind.”
He brushed a chaste kiss against my cheek before stepping into the apartment and pressing the other bouquet into my hands.
“Thank you,” I murmured. “These are beautiful. What’s the occasion?”
“I wanted to show you something,” he said. “Are you available today?”
“We sure are.” Adi beamed at him, clutching the flowers to her chest. “What do you want to show us?”
“Something I’m really excited about. I thought I’d bring the flowers to help butter you up so you would say yes.”
“As if you need to butter us up.” I rolled my eyes, laughing as I shut the door. “We haven’t said no to you yet, have we? Actually, now that I think about it, we should say no sometime. Aren’t we supposed to be playing hard to get?”
“Nope.” He winked as he passed me, then scooped Adi up for a hug. “I like you just the way you are. So what do you say? Will you come with me? No questions asked?”
His green eyes were lit up with excitement when he glanced at me after setting my daughter back down on her feet. As he straightened up, he came to stand next to me, so close that our arms touched.
Goosebumps raced across my skin, and I sighed when I realized today wasn’t going to be the day when I’d start playing hard to get with him. “I’m not good at no questions asked, but we’ll come with you.”
“Thank you.” He jerked his head toward the door. “Are you ready
