He hugged her.
“It’s okay, mo ghràdh. I’m not upset. I know he did a number on you, and I promise I won’t be like him. I can navigate the wounds he left behind.”
She handed his phone to him.
“Your sister, Catherine, wants to know if you want to meet for coffee.”
He opened the text.
“I have a breakfast date tomorrow. I’ll meet her another time,” he said. “As much as I love my sister, I have a woman in my life that I love more.”
That was sweet.
So, she had an idea.
“She can join us, if you’d like. I’d love to meet her and talk to her.”
From where he sat, Tony was watching them, and he knew that they’d be okay. You could tell when a relationship was going to pan out. They were already a strong couple, and he was happy for his friend.
“I can do that if you want to meet her. If not, there will be plenty of time when we come back from packing your things in the States.”
She was honest.
“I want to meet the women who my man loves so much. I can see it in your eyes in that picture, and how you talk about your sisters. They matter to you, so now, they matter to me. I do have a question.”
He waited.
“Are they all as pretty as her? I hope I can blend in with your family.”
He wasn’t having that.
Instead, Finn lifted her chin and kissed her softly on the mouth. Then, he stared into her eyes.
“I picked you because you stood out. Don’t be a wallflower. Be the whole field.”
She smiled.
“Now, you get to look in my phone,” she said, handing it to him. “I suggest you check the wallpaper,” she offered.
When he did, he gasped.
It.
Was.
Him.
Somehow, she snuck a picture of them at the waterfall. He had stood up, and Finn was buck naked. The picture was of him from behind, as water fell from his body.
Tony laughed.
“My dude, if I was gay…”
Finn stared at her.
Was that how she saw him?
No one had ever made him their wallpaper. Well, his sisters had, but that was different.
