This backyard is perfect, too. Lush, green grass, a garden, a gazebo off in the corner…I can just see our kids running around one day, playing tag or hide and seek while Hannah and I relax on a blanket in the grass, just like old times. Austin seems like he'd be the type to be chasing the kids, and Enzo would be on Hannah's other side, reading a book. Noah…I don't know what Noah would be doing. Probably teaching them how to hack or something.

"They've accepted your offer," Robert's voice brings me out of my daydream, money signs in his eyes. Guy finally realized what a great commission he'll get from this sale.

"Great." I nod. "Send the paperwork over to my realtor and I'll sign it and send over payment as soon as it's ready." He shakes my hand and I walk through the downstairs, snapping pictures as I make my way back to the front door to send to the guys.

Me

New pack house. Should be able to move our shit in this weekend

Austin

Fancy digs. Not sure we can afford a place like that

Noah

Holy fuck, dude. That's way over our price limit

Me

Don't worry about it. It's taken care of

Enzo

You just…bought us a multi-million dollar house?

Sighing, I shut the front door behind me and head to my car. They obviously know that Hannah and I have a history, but I really think that having me in the pack is going to make it more difficult for them to court her. That doesn't mean I'm giving up though.

Me

Listen, I don't know why Hannah left me, but I have a feeling she doesn't know that I'm a part of this pack. Pretty sure she didn't get close enough to scent me if I had to huff Enzo's hand like a freak. She may become more…resistant once she realizes. Look at this as my selfish attempt to make sure you guys don't try to kick me from the pack to make it easier to get her.

I know that her step-grandma, Nana, got sick. I know that she went to go take care of her. But what I don't know is why she left without even talking to me. There's a sneaking suspicion deep in my gut that it has something to do with her step-sisters.

Hannah and I were in love. Happy. Deliriously so.

My phone vibrates with a text in the group chat.

Noah

Fuck. Fine. But if you ruin our chances with her I'm hacking into your bank account. draining every penny and giving it to her. ??

Austin

I'm sure it'll all work out. Let's make Saturday moving day.

Enzo

Can't Saturday. Hannah just texted. We're going to go dinner that night

I'll bring my stuff Sunday.

But Charlie…we will not be keeping you a secret. We can try to give you a little bit of time to figure out how to tell her, but I won't lie to her.

Enzo has been nothing but polite but I really want to throat punch him right now. The only thing that keeps me calm is reminding myself that this is the first step. Enzo is the one she's spent the most time with, and he can smooth the path for all of us to sweep her off her feet.

Maybe, after Saturday, I'll finally have some answers.
