To Miranda, Marry Me.

“Comeon,” Lela said.

Randi handed it to her.

“Oh my God!” Lela looked up at her.

“I know,” Randi answered.

“But…oh my God!”

“I know.”

“So how do you say yes?” Annabelle asked, looking around. She focused on Teresa. “Is he coming? Is he hiding somewhere?”

Teresa looked at Randi. “You know what to do.”

She did. “Okay.”

“What?” Lela asked, looking back and forth between them. “What’s happening?”

“I have to go,” Randi said, sliding off the stool.

“What?” Annabelle asked. “Where?”

“Can we come?” Lela asked.

Randi laughed, the truth of the situation finally fully sinking in and the joy bubbling up. Coach had known about this. He had to. He’d come to be sure she was in the right place emotionally to accept it. Either that, or he was magically able to justknowwhen someone needed to talk to him.

That was entirely possible too. Randi had always thought he had a magic touch.

“This is kind of a private thing,” she told her friends.

“I want to see him get on his knee!” Lela said.

“I want to see you say yes!” Annabelle added.

Randi laughed and grabbed her purse. “I’ll tell you all about it later.”

They both slumped in their seats.

“Well, at least come back for celebratory tequila,” Lela said. “Thatshould make you like it again.”

“Okay, but Tucker might not like you sucking tequila out of my belly button. That’s how Nolan and I do it,” Randi said, feeling lighter than she had in a month.

Lela grinned, then laughed. “Oh, I think Tucker might like that a lot.”

“Come to think of it, I could use some tequila and belly button practice,” Annabelle said, waving Sadie over to the table. “I’m going to need a bottle of tequila to go.”

“Make that two,” Lela said.

Sadie already had one in hand. And a lime. She grabbed the salt shaker off the table and passed it all over to Randi. “I’m sick of you not liking my tequila anymore.”

Randi lifted an eyebrow. “How did you know that this—”

“It’s a small town,” she said with a shrug.

“A small town that knows what goes on in my living room when I’m there alone with my boyfriend?”
