“I know.” He lets out a deep breath. “Never thought I would see the day, but when you meet the one.”

“Shit, are you telling me that you are hanging up the bachelor title?” I ask.

“There is no one else that I want to be with,” he says. “So I’m trying to do what I can to make her fall in love with this place and never want to leave.” Olivia is all city girl whereas Casey is as country as you get. But the two of them together just fit. I’m happy for him. He’s gone through a lot.

“Well, count me in,” I say, pulling up to the mayor’s house.

“You can check with Savannah and see if she wants to come. Jacob and Kallie will be bringing Ethan, who are feeling okay now.”

“Yeah, I’ll tell her. Now that the bar is closed, she has the time.”

“I heard about that.” He blows out. “Let me know if you need anything.”

“Will do.” I get out of the car. “See you tonight.” I hang up at the exact moment that I open the door, and I’m greeted by a huge smile from Bonnie. Here I go, I think to myself.

“Morning,” she says, walking around her desk and handing me a coffee cup. I grab it from her. “You have your schedule on your desk,” she tells me as she follows me into the office. “Your first meeting starts in ten.”

“Thank you.” I toss my keys on the desk and look over the schedule. “Busy day with meetings.”

“It sure is. It’s a good time for everyone to meet you and for you to fill them in on how you’ll be running things.”

I nod at her and sit down. “Thank you, Bonnie.” She nods and walks out, closing the door behind her. The only thing I do before I start the meeting is text Savannah about the plans tonight.

The day flies by the time I get up and walk out of the third meeting of the day with everyone else who attended the meeting. When I shake the head guy’s hand, I have to think about his name, and when I can’t come up with it, I just smile. “Let me know if you need me for anything.” He nods, and I turn to walk to Bonnie. “Any messages?”

She smiles at me. “No, but your mom did call and told you that she expects you for dinner tonight.”
