“This may be the perfect ring, but a perfectly planned life with you, Hollis?” Beck said, running a finger along her jaw. “It’s exactly what I want.” He leaned in to kiss her.
“You are going to have to stop calling me Hollis after we get married.”
“I’ll work on it.”
Boomer’s voice broke through the window. “ATTENTION, BLUEBELL BAY! Max Bennett’s girlfriend has officially arrived!”
When they finally pulled apart, Beck tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Poor Max.”
Caroline leaned on Beck’s shoulder. “You think he knows what’s coming?”
“Not a chance.”
She smiled. “Not much time until things kick off for the summer.”
“There’s plenty of time,” Beck said. “For something else to catch fire.”
“You mean the fireworks?”
“I meant Gigi.”
They both laughed. Despite all the coffee, chaos, waffle crumbs, boardwalk serenades, and bingo cards, Caroline knew exactly why she wanted to share Bluebell Bay with the world.
It was her future.
And Beck was hers forever.
