I couldn’t agree more.I nodded.
“What about the club?”Zeke asked as he followed me to the door.
“I’m meeting with Trent,” I admitted.Or I planned to.
“Good luck with that.And if you need anything, Edge, anything at all, you only have to ask.”
As I stepped out of Zeke’s office into the hallway, I felt as though I was in an alternate universe.
“Oh, and Edge?”
I turned to look at the big Sadist.
“You gonna be at the club tonight?”
“Yeah.”
He smiled, this one wicked.“Good.I’m gonna need you there.”
“Okay.Something wrong?”
Zeke shook his head.“No.Actually, for the first time, everything’s fucking perfect.”
I stared at the spot he vacated when he disappeared back inside.Perhaps he didn’t have an eloquent way of relaying things, but I had to agree with him.Everything was fucking perfect.

“Wow, you went all out,” Tiffany said in that sweet, chipper tone as she stepped into my apartment.
Her eyes instantly shot to the kitchen counters, where I’d placed an array of food.
“Nothing fancy,” I told her.
“Fruit, crackers, cheese.”Her eyes lit up.“Chocolate fountain?”She glanced over at me.“What’s the occasion?”
“We’re celebrating,” I said shyly.
As though she knew exactly what I was about to say, her smile widened, as did her eyes.I could see the expectation there.She wanted me to spill the beans.
“Gotta wait for Jonah,” I told her.“I’m only going to tell the story one time.”
Tiffany squealed.“Oh, my God.You did it, didn’t you?You told them?”She skipped over to me.“Tell me, tell me, tell me.”
It was my turn to squeal.“I did!”
Tiffany fist-bumped the air, then threw her arms around my neck.“I’m so freaking happy for you.”
We were laughing when Jonah walked in.He scanned the scene momentarily.“What’d I miss?What happened?”
He marched over, his hands vibrating as though he couldn’t handle not knowing for another second.
“I did it!”I exclaimed.“I told them.”
They both threw their arms around me, bouncing in a circle like a couple of goofballs.
When we separated, Jonah took my hands, his expression serious.“Tell me everything.”He tugged me over to the sofa.“And I mean everything.”
“Well…” I launched into the story about how I’d gone over to Cav’s hotel to tell them both I loved them.
