Belinda exchanged a look with Victoria, but Bennett didn’t seem to mind.
Jonas shook Bennett’s hand, smiling wide, then pulled him into a man-hug, which Bennett reciprocated without hesitating, to Belinda’s surprise. Ardith gave Belinda a squeeze, her black hair pulled into a tight ponytail. Then she stepped aside for Jonas to move in, who just wrapped Belinda in a bear hug. “I’m glad you found him,” he said in her ear.
“Likewise.” Belinda stood back, her eyes twinkling as her favorite green-eyed detective grinned back at her, then put his arm around Ardith. And it occurred to Belinda that there might be other happy unions in the future as well.
Aubrey forced her way through, practically crushing Belinda’s ribcage. “This is so exciting!” Aubrey hopped up and down, Eston right next to her, congratulating his boss, Bennett. Before Belinda could intervene, Aubrey hopped right over to Bennett and flung her arms around him. Victoria, who lingered in close range with Dan, giggled as Bennett stiffly patted Aubrey’s back. Aubrey didn’t seem to notice, gushing about how happy she was for them. Belinda smiled to herself, figuring it was good for Bennett.
As everyone crowded around, a million questions came at her from all the females in the group. They admired the ring, asked how he proposed...all the usual things women want to know.
And Belinda was happy to regale them with both proposal stories, the cave proposal getting the most female approval noises. Bennett was admired from across the room as the perfect catch, and Belinda was happy to try all the food laid out for them on the high tables.
But as she met Bennett’s gaze, a small smile on his lips, she was the happiest about two things: she still had Bennett, and Bennett still had her.
