I roll my eyes. “I think you just want me to eavesdrop on that conversation in there.”

“Am I that obvious?”

I kiss her nose and smile. “It’s cute. But you have to eat what I make too; otherwise I’m keeping my mouth shut.”

She kisses me full on the mouth and giggles. “Easiest deal ever. I win two times over.”

Her smile is reward enough for me, but I won’t say that. Instead, I steal another kiss, then make my way to the kitchen, ready to cook and pretend I’m not there despite how easy it would be to help fill in the blanks.

Living with Miles and Diana is about to be a lot more complicated, but maybe it will pull Sophie out of the spotlight for a well-earned break. I grab a few pans and pull out steaks as Gunner gets started, listing off the ingredients for a good Cosmo.

Diana shakes her head. “Gunner, this is all too much. Maybe I should have stayed home.”

“I promise once I finish, it’ll seem simple, especially since it’s in the past where Miles and Bella are concerned. Bella’s getting married to Matthew in a month or so.” He flashes an easy smile. “We’re just talking about the past.”

“Sounds easy.”

“Just like I promised. Plus, you’ll have a well-cooked steak as a reward, and maybe I’ll be back on your good side.” He slides her the drink. “Ready?”
