“Who's the tall, dark, sexy piece of meat over there?” she asked quietly.
“Cal is my older brother,” Alex said, holding back a laugh.
“Single, older brother,” I corrected him.
“Single, eh?” she smirked. “And a Rivera?” We nodded. “I'm enjoying this party already.”
She scurried away and took the seat next to Calvin. Within minutes the two of them were smiling, laughing, and carrying on about God knows what.
Alex put his arm around me and smiled. “Should I say it, or do you want to?”
“I want the last word,” I said, taking a breath and smiling as I stared at the living room full of people I loved. “And they all lived happily ever after.”
Alex nodded.
I smiled.
And together we held on to the only thing we'd need for the rest of our lives. . . each other.
