“It’ll all go smoother if I just go with.”

“What about Summer Stock? Isn’t that right when it’s starting?” Devlin asked.

Prudence grinned. “That’s the best part. Grey and Wyatt finally made peace with each other and Wyatt agreed to come and teach the first few weeks of it.”

“Now we can have that Wyatt Reed movie marathon.” Annabelle high-fived Prudence and Devlin. “Ladies’ night!”

“A marathon of third-rate romantic comedies?” Sebastian groused. “No thanks.”

“You weren’t invited,” Annabelle pointed out.

“Hey, he’s got a lot of good action movies, too,” Greyson defended Wyatt.

“I’m going to have too much to do, anyway,” Sebastian explained. “My sister, Sofia, is going to be visiting for a month this summer. I’ll have to make sure she’s got enough to do while I’m working.”

“You mentioned she might be coming here, I’m glad she can make it.” Gabe noticed Devlin yawn and they said their final goodbyes.

He took Devlin’s hand and they walked out into the spring night, the voices behind them fading away.

“Hey, Gabe.” Devlin snuggled close to his side on their walk home. “I’m so grateful for your support with my expansion that I want to return the favor somehow.”

“Believe me, you’ve returned the favor more than you know.”

She gave him a nudge. “You know what I mean. Joe’s offer got me thinking about your woodworking. You love it so much, and I think you could make a serious business out of it.”

“You’re a mind reader, Dev. I have so many thoughts swirling around about that, but I don’t know yet how I’d do it.”

“You already have your shop to build your pieces in, now you can have a place to showcase them all.”

“That’s a genius idea. It might be small, but that’ll only highlight the pieces I put in there.”

“There’s a lot of planning to do, but I’m here with you for it all. I know you love Finnegan’s, but this is your passion.”

“You’re my passion, Devlin. Nothing else matters as long as we’re together.”

Gabe wrapped his arm around Devlin’s shoulder and a sense of peace surrounded him. He felt like he had a true partner, that they supported each other, and there was no better feeling than that. Well, maybe that they were going home—to their home—together.
