  42. About the Author

Kiera and Abby laughed. Denny shook his head again, but he was smiling. Kiera also shook her head. “No…we’re going to go rent the best hotel room in the city.” I lifted an eyebrow in surprise, and she giggled. “I am not spending my wedding night in the room right next door to my parents.”

I laughed at her comment, and at the fact that she’d said it right next to Denny. And she hadn’t felt bad about it. Neither had he…and neither had I. We’d all moved on, and we were all okay. I was so grateful for that. I started pulling Kiera away, so we could go start our life together, when another sudden thought struck me. Pausing, I looked back at Denny. He and Abby were slow dancing now. “I could probably scrounge up a couple of rings if you guys want to get married too?” I told him.

Kiera thumped my chest, but Denny laughed, amused. Abby raised an eyebrow. “Oh, no, I’m not getting married in a bar. I’m getting the whole shebang.” Denny looked over at her, and she stared him down. He just smiled and hugged her. Smart man.

Looking at them made me laugh. Hell, everything was making me laugh. I’d just had the greatest day of my life, and I’d ended it by marrying the greatest person in my life. Everything seemed possible now—even the outrageous notion that my band might actually become something one day. But ultimately, that didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered to me was the woman standing by my side.

My wife. My life. Damn, how in the hell did I get so lucky?
