They stepped out onto the sidewalk in front of city hall, and Nick took Harper’s hand. “We’ll be fine.”
Malcolm tuned to their mother. “I think the lovebirds want to be alone.”
She nodded sagely. “They only have a weekend for the honeymoon, so it makes sense not to waste today with us.”
Despite the grain of truth in the teasing, Nick didn’t rise to the bait. “Thanks again for coming along. It means a lot.”
“It really does,” Harper echoed.
“Our pleasure,” his mother said, and kissed each of them on the cheek. “But we can take a hint, can’t we, Malcolm?”
“Oh, I understood the hint. I was just planning on ignoring it,” Malcolm said cheerfully.
“Don’t worry,” their mother said, “we’re going now.” She grabbed a protesting Malcolm’s arm and marched him toward the parking lot the way she had when the twins were ten.
Harper laughed. “I like your mother.”
“I’m glad,” Nick said. He dug his free hand in his pocket and let out a long breath. “So, we’re married.”
The look in her beautiful brown eyes seemed uncertain. “It appears we are.”
A light breeze picked up a few strands of her hair and blew them across her face, so he tucked them behind her ear. “Ready for the move?”
Her stomach rumbled, and she smiled ruefully. “As long as we can grab some food on the way.”
“Deal,” he said, glad for at least one task that didn’t involve lying and where he could make everyone happy.
