I swallowed. “And what’s that?”

She tilted her head, her expression soft. “That you’re happy.”

I let out a slow breath, and finally, I believed it.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Kai

If there wasone thing we’d all agreed on, it was that Sadie deserved a damn good night.

Between everything she’d been through, the ups, the downs, the absolute chaos that seemed to follow us, she hadn’t had much time to just enjoy being happy.

To celebrate.

And now, with the baby on the way, it felt more important than ever to make sure she knew just how much she meant to us.

So we planned.

And if we went a little overboard? Well, she was worth it.

I leaned against the counter of The Brewed Bean, watching as Samuel double-checked the last-minute details with Samantha.

The café had cleared out for the evening, giving us the perfect quiet start to the night.

“She’s gonna love this,” Adam said, nudging my arm. “You nervous?”

I scoffed. “Nervous? Man, please. We nailed this.”

And we had. With the help of the town, of course. It felt like everyone had pitched in, eager to do something special for Sadie.

“Alright, let’s get to our spots,” Adam said, checking his watch. “Lila just texted me. She’s on her way.”

I exhaled, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets as we stepped outside. The night was cool but not cold, the kind of perfect autumn evening that made Medford feel even cozier than usual. As we moved into place, the anticipation buzzed between us.

And then, there she was.

Sadie stepped onto Maple Avenue, her eyes widening as she took everything in. The twinkling lights. The familiar faces waiting just for her. The warmth of home wrapped up in every little detail.

Adam was the first to greet her, pressing a kiss to her forehead before guiding her toward The Brewed Bean.

“First stop,” he said, smirking. “Figured you’d need a little something sweet to start the night.”

She laughed, shaking her head. “What is going on?”

“It’s date night,” I said simply. “For you.”

Sadie blinked, her lips parting as she looked between us, then at The Brewed Bean’s softly shining windows. “You guys did all this… for me?”

“For you,” Samuel confirmed, giving her a warm smile. “Figured it was about time we did something to celebrate you.”

She exhaled a small, disbelieving laugh, her hand brushing over her stomach instinctively. “I don’t even know what to say.”

Adam smirked, nudging her toward the café door. “Try ‘thank you’ after you see what’s inside.”

Still shaking her head, she let us lead her in.

The café smelled like fresh espresso and warm vanilla, a comforting mix that wrapped around us the second we stepped inside. The counter had been set up with a selection of her favorite drinks and pastries, and just to the side, Aurora’s carefully crafted gift basket sat waiting on a small table near the best window seat in the place.
