Pushing out from the car, I dug my phone from my pocket. Nick’s name flashed on the screen. “Hey.”
“Guess you expected this call.”

He chuckled. “I fell for Emmy the first night I met her. Time doesn’t matter.”
Nick and Emmeline had married the first night they’d met. Things had been rocky for them, but they’d found their way back together.
“I’m happy for you. Want a piece of free advice from your older, wiser and more handsome brother?”
