“We’re going to sell Damon’s mom’s place and buy another house, to make a fresh start.”
“That sounds great. In Queens?”
Haley nodded.
“Ty’s sister, Paige, might know a real estate agent. She’s really enthused about houses and he’s the contractor who did a lot of the work here.” Shannyn chatted as she took food out of the fridge and Haley had a feeling they’d get along well. She felt welcome in their home, as if she’d stepped into a large supportive circle of new friends because of Damon’s connections.
“Don’t you need the car to get home?” Ty asked Damon. “I mean, Haley must have her stuff with her.”
“And that car’s not big enough for anything,” Shannyn said, her tone teasing. “You can put a toothbrush in the trunk and not much else.” The pair exchanged a hot glance and Haley guessed that Shannyn liked to give Tyler a hard time about his car.
“One bag, one framed picture and one cat,” Damon said. “We can manage in a cab.”
“Is everything else being sent later?” Ty asked, looking between them.
“No. That’s everything,” Haley admitted, seeing his surprise. “I’ve always been ready to go, but now, I’m ready to stay.”
Damon slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, his gaze warm as he looked down at her. “Suits me just fine,” he murmured and Haley could have drowned in his eyes. She felt like the luckiest woman in the world to have found him and didn’t care who knew it.
“I’m glad,” she whispered and Damon flicked a glance at Ty and Shannyn. They were apparently consumed with their tasks, breaking eggs into a bowl and putting bread into the toaster, joking with each other as if they cooked together all the time.
Damon winked then bent to brush his lips across Haley’s mouth. Her heart jumped, right on cue, then she pulled his head down for a real kiss.
Their future had already begun—she was ready for that and so much more.
