All of the details. Nothing omitted!

Me

Ryan sent me lunch today… and it’s not the first time he’s sent me food.

Sophia

Does Ryan have a food kink?

Vivian

[Vomit emoji] STOOOOP. Listen, I said I wouldn’t say anything to my husband until you gave me the green light, but that doesn’t give you the green light for alllll things!

Savannah

[Hiding emoji] [Horrified emoji] [running emoji]

Me

lol no, I think it’s more like he wants to make sure I’m taken care of? I think?

Savannah

I take back my emojis. Yes, that definitely sounds like Ryan.

Me

Oh, so this is common?

Vivian

NO!! It’s just behavior we would expect to see if he cared about someone.

Stacy

There better be a guaranteed HEA here or I’m going to riot.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Me

Merry Christmas, Harlow. I hope you had a nice day and maybe even got a nice gift or two?

Harlow

Merry Christmas, Ryan! It’s been fine, a typical Christmas holiday with my parents and their busy social calendars. What about you? Get anything good?

Me

Well, now that you ask, I did in fact get two awesome gifts.

Harlow

Oh, yeah? What’d you get?

Me

Before our Mama passed, she had a few pieces of jewelry that had broken over the years, but she kept them in her jewelry box. The girls both got pieces from her before she left us, but the boys didn’t. Liam took some small diamonds from the broken pieces and had necklaces made for the brothers—with the same Cavalry emblem that’s on my basketball court. I guess Jack had a legit graphic designer make it and he did not make it in clip art, despite my initial response to it.
