“Yep. She’s beautiful. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. She’s crazy smart, too.”
“I am a premiere event planner,” I say with a fake haughtiness to my voice. “I don’t know if you can afford my services…”
Caleb slides both arms around me and lifts me into the air. “I’ll pay whatever it costs. But I need one thing added to the fine print.”
“What’s that?” I say, holding back laughter as he gently swings me in a circle. Rex barks, wanting in on the fun.
Caleb sets me down but keeps his arms wrapped around me. “Let’s remove the clause that says you can’t fall in love with me. It didn’t really work out so well last time.”
I grab his face in my hands and lift up on my toes to kiss him. “Deal.”
