Becca laughed. “I hear you.”
Van licked another invitation envelope. “You look really happy, babes.”
“I am happy. Everything about this feels right. Like this is where I belong.”
“Not to mention the ring is better.” Van laughed
Becca glanced down at the simple Emerald cut stone and elegant band that had belonged to Liam’s grandmother. She smiled softly. “It’s better because it means something.”
The front door opened, and Liam’s voice filled her apartment. “Where is my beautiful bride to be?”
“We’re in here.”
When he appeared in the dining room archway, Van smiled and shook her head. “This is my cue to go before the two of you start making out like a couple of teenagers. Honestly, if I didn’t love you two so much, I would be a little sick.” She packed up her bag and gave Liam a quick squeeze before throwing up a peace sign. “Call me later, love birds.”
“How did it go at the office?” She asked with a smile. Liam, his father, and Manny had started a tentative partnership where Liam’s swim program acted as a funnel to both programs, with Liam as the deciding factor as to who went where. So far it was working out, but things could still get tense between him and his old man. Still, it was a start, and that was what was important.
“It was fine, but do you think I can give my fiancée a kiss first before I talk about the next Olympic hopeful?”
“That can be arranged.” Becca stood and leaned over the table for her kiss.
Liam had other plans. He picked her up and dragged her over the table, sending invitations everywhere. His kiss was hot, and she melted under him just like she always did. His tongue slid into her mouth, and she moaned, looping her hands around his neck.
He drew back slowly. “The things you do to me, woman.”
Becca grinned. “Says the man who pulled me across the table to molest me.” She kissed him briefly again, relishing in the warm embrace of his strong arms. “How’s your mom?”
“She’s good. Getting stronger every day, and her appetite is back. Of course, now she’s got the most random requests like California burritos at eight in the morning.”
“That’s great. She’s been through so much. I’m thrilled she gets to be part of the wedding.”
He studied her intently. “Are you sure you’re okay with getting married here in San Diego? I mean, I know how important it was for you to get married at home.”
Becca shook her head. “Nah, it was more about having a family atmosphere. And we’ll have that here. Your mom isn’t strong enough, yet, to fly back and forth, and I know she really wanted to help with planning, so this is the best of both worlds.”
“You’re amazing, you know that?”
“I’ve been told that once or twice.”
“And who’s this that’s been telling my bride to be that she’s amazing?”
Becca grinned. “Just her husband to be, that’s all.”
Liam shook his head. “Who knew your bad driving could turn out so well?”
Becca smacked his arm. “I still maintain that it was all your fault. If you hadn’t tried to steal my spot, I wouldn’t have hit you.”
He pulled her in closer. “How about we agree to disagree, and I just call you my hit-and-run bride.”
Becca kissed him again. “I like the sound of that. The bride part. Not the rest of it.”
“Fine. How’s this: ‘my bride’.”
“That’s perfect.”
