“With every fiber of my being,” Kane said.
I nodded and grinned before I panned my gaze back to Kane.
“Then how can I not forgive you? Family is the most important, above all else. I’ll never be able to fault a parent whose only want is to defend their children,” I said.
I watched Kane breathe a sigh of relief as a smile grew on Ruby’s lips.
“I like her,” she said.
“Lucas and I figured you would, Mom,” Everett said.
“You forgive me,” Kane said.
“I do,” I said.
“And now that we have that settled, I want to answer the other question running through Andrea’s mind,” Everett said.
I shared one last moment with Everett’s father before I snapped my head over to him.
“What is all this about?” I asked.
I watched as he scooted his chair closer to me, then took both of my hands within his.
“Andrea, I have no intentions of following up with the lawyers,” he said.
“What?” I asked.
“Unless you want me to.”
“What?”
“I want to be with you, Andrea. And to me, there’s no point in getting a divorce of any sort when I can see myself with you.”
“What!?” I squeaked.
Everett’s parents chuckled and it caught my attention.
“So, you guys…?” I asked.
“We know,” Ruby said.
“Everett walked us through everything that happened in Vegas last night,” Kane said.
“Well, everything I can remember from what we pieced together,” Everett said, chuckling.
I smiled as my eyes locked with his again and I felt a happiness unlike none other trickle throughout my limbs.
“You don’t want a divorce?” I asked.
“No. I don’t. In fact, there’s actually something I’d like to ask you,” Everett said.
He scooted his chair as close as he could get before his forehead connected with mine.
“Andrea Faith, would you let me take you out on a date?” he asked.
I giggled and nodded as I drew in a deep breath through my nose.
“I would love nothing more,” I said.
