"He keeps his hands to hier at Amanda

Amanda nodded and rushed toward the door

"Whoa, where are you going?"

"Gage, he’s leaving in the onna spend as ood, I proe started to protest, but I put one hand flat on his chest and squeezed his hand with the other "They’ll be fine, Gage Corumbled to himself as we crawled under the covers "I don’t trust hi us a favor"

"How so?" he scoffed, still burning holes through the bedroom door

I sat up and tore my shirt off "Because noe have the room to ourselves"

His eyes snapped to mine, then down to my bare chest, and his face lit up "Be a shaht, and I was really glad Tessa was facing the other way I felt bad for going against her, and I’d vowed after that night to respect her wishes until Gage and I got married, whenever that would be It would definitely be easier at night now, seeing as we’d gone into town yesterday and bought absolutely everything that we needed for our new place What we couldn’t haul back had been delivered thatwas already set up Gage had officiallythere, while I slept here, a good five- the day, however, I’d need to keepover to break in our new bed, and the shower, bathtub, dining room table, couches, and every other surface The blush cae and Tyler cae took one look at o to town, darlin’, we’ll be back"

"Uh, yeah That’s what I thought" Ty s, I held up the piece of fishing line I’d tied around Cassidy’s ring finger last night in her sleep I’d been so da to wake up, but I couldn’t think of another way to figure out the size without being obvious Not like she didn’t know I planned onher as soon as freakin’ possible, but still I needed to be able to surprise her even with her expecting it

"So are we getting the whole thing done today?"

"Only if they don’t need to resize the ring; if they do, the rest of the surprise has to wait until it’s done too"

"And you called the people about it?"

"Did it this o pick one out today and pay for it, but they knoe’ll be taking it either today or whenever the ring’s ready"

"Not gonna lie, bro, I’ht have to use this one day It’s the ultimate a moment" He snickered
