“Okay. Just text me when you’re on your way.”

His grin is blinding. “I will.”

He helps me out of the car and pulls me into him before kissing me in a much different way than he did at Liv’s. I wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my waist and holds me against him. After a few minutes, he peppers a few pecks on my lips and whispers, “I’ll see you in the morning, Bug.”

“See you in the morning.”

I look over my shoulder twice on my way to the front door, smiling from ear to ear the whole way. Henry and Maggie aren’t home when I walk in, and I jog up to my bedroom before quickly grabbing a shower and changing into some lazy lounge clothes.

CHAPTER 26

Matt

After breakfast I drop Zoey off at home and then meet the guys at Caleb’s. I’m the last to arrive, and I let myself in and find them in the kitchen where Caleb is pouring the guys each a cup of coffee. He holds the pot out to me in offer, and I shake my head. Caleb being who he is, gets right to business.

“So, here are all the listings my realtor sent over. There’s about twenty, he said a lot of people are selling right now. Hopefully, everyone can find something in this stack.”

We each grab one off the stack and browse, passing them around when we’re done.

“There are a couple open houses in about an hour or so, and then the others he said, if we’re interested, he can schedule some private showings.”

We all nod.

“Which ones have open houses today?” I ask.

Jayden starts to fuss in his carrier on my chest, and I start to pace.

Caleb picks out a few listings and puts them in a stack. “These ones.”

I take them from him and thumb through them. There are a few I’m seriously interested in. In fact, almost all the ones I want to see are in this stack.

“Sounds good.” I hand the stack to Josh. “You going to pick up Liv to come to the open houses?”

He shakes his head. “I’ll take videos and stuff for her if I think she’ll like them, and then we can schedule another appointment. You bringing Zoey?”

I stop in my spot and stare at him while the guys all stare at me.

“Why would he be taking Zoey to look at houses?” Grayson asks.

“Because they’re dating,” Josh says.

“Matt’s actually dating?” Grayson asks incredulously.

“Yeah, I am. And who the fuck are you to say anything? You’re the one who was sleeping with anything that walked and then married the girl who couldn’t stand you.”

He points his finger at me. “You’re wrong. I wasn’t sleeping with anything that walked.”

I laugh, and Josh and Caleb just stare at him.

“I hadn’t been with anyone for almost two years before I married Hannah.”

“What do you mean?” Caleb asks. “You were collecting numbers the whole time.”

Grayson shakes his head. “You thought I was. I wasn’t. After my first date with Hannah, I never touched another woman.”

“Fuck,” I say. “You were in love with her the whole time.”

He looks at me completely unashamed. “I was.”
