Peter nodded, then looked at her, “Beer?”
She lifted her chin to the fridge.
Talia walked over to it, opened it, and grabbed a beer for Peter.
She handed it to him, and then she reached into the cooler on the counter and grabbed two wine spritzers. Then she handed them to Mom and Darla.
Mom walked over to where I was, knowing what she wanted, I bent, and offered her my cheek.
She kissed it, and then she whispered, “If you don’t make that girl my daughter, I will never forgive you.”
She hadn’t said it quietly enough because Darla and Peter had heard her.
Darla winked at me, and Peter said, “You already have our blessing.”
Well. Shit.
I looked over at Harlee, catching me looking, she lifted a brow.
I threw up my hands, “Okay, I’m going.”
Then I headed to the covered back porch where everyone was seated already.
However, before I could sit down, a knock sounded on the door.
I turned and headed for it.
Everly was set to open it, which had me lifting a brow, “No woman in my house opens the door.”
Her cheeks got pink, and then she nodded.
Opening the door, I smiled at Granger.
“Hey man, glad you could make it,” I said as I offered Granger a shake and a slap on the back.
He grinned, “Thanks for having me.”
Just then, Tatum stepped in behind him.
And at the sight of her, Harlee squealed, then rushed to her.
Granger and I shared a look and then shook our heads.
“Come on in, and I’ll introduce the two of you to everyone,” I told him, as I waited for my woman and Tatum to move, then I closed the door.
Harlee led Tatum to the kitchen, but not before she called out, “Hey, Granger.”
He chuckled, “Hey, Harls.”
I led him to the kitchen and waited for Harlee to finish introducing Tatum to the women.
Once she was done, and they laughed and hugged, I said, “Guys, this is Granger. Granger, that’s Lila, Everly, and my little sister, Talia.”
They all waved at him, and then I led him to the back porch.
Once I introduced him to everyone, he took a beer Garrick had pulled out, held it out to him, and said, “Okay, start.”
Granger took the beer, popped the cap, and then handed it to my mom, who had her hand out.
