PETE POV

AFTER THE NIGHT that Vegas suddenly left dinner, I didn't see him again for a couple of days. I have no idea who was on the other end of that phone call, but I hope it's nothing serious. And I hope it's not him plotting revenge against my father, you know, the usual Vegas thing to do.

It's late in the evening when Kinn informs me dinner will be served outside tonight. Confused, I try to ask him questions, but he walks away before I can get any answers.

I can't help but get excited about eating outside, though. The property is massive, so hopefully we'll be in a place where we'll be able to see all the stars. I've missed staring up at the night sky, which was an almost nightly ritual for me before I married Vegas.

After I shower and get dressed for dinner in a simple navy-blue shirt and pant and matching shoes, I bump into Big in the hallway on the way to his room. "Are you changing for dinner?" I ask him.

"I already ate," he says with a furrowed brow.

"Oh." I just assumed the four of us would be dining again, but no matter. It must just be Kinn, Vegas and me. I know Vegas can't stand to be alone with me in the same room for very long, so he'll use Kinn and whoever else as a buffer so that he can tolerate me during the meal.

"I'm going to bed early. Goodnight, Pete," Big tells me before leaning in and kissing my cheek.

I'm taken aback by the gesture, but it makes me smile. "Goodnight," I call after him before I make my descent down the stairs.

Sure enough, Kinn is waiting for me. "Shall we?" he asks, extending his arm like a gentleman.

"We shall," I say with a giggle.

Kinn leads me outside the patio, and I hold his arm a little tighter than necessary as we walk past the swimming pool.

"Don't worry. I won't let you fall in," Kinn reassures me in a whisper.

"I'm surprised Vegas didn't want to dine in the water tonight as a cruel joke on me," I tell him with a huff.

Kinn is quiet for several steps before he says, "Be patient with him, Pete. Everything will work out in the end. You'll see."

I'm about to ask him what he means by that; but then we round the corner, and I stop dead in my tracks.

The backyard has been transformed into some magical place with fairy lights, a small, white tent with a table and two chairs. I'm in awe as Kinn pulls me forward, and it almost feels like I'm floating to the most serene place in the world.

There's even a blanket with pillows laid out in the grass, and I am practically bursting with excitement. "Kinn, did you do all of this?" I ask him.

"No. He did," he says, gesturing to the tent.

And that's when Vegas steps out, looking brutally handsome in a black tailored suit. He's sans tie, and the buttons at the top of his black button-up shirt are undone. He looks like he just stepped out of the cover of Thailand magazine, and I can't help but admit that my husband looks hot.

Kinn carefully drops my arm and walks away, leaving Vegas and I alone. My hands fidget at my sides. I don't know why I'm so incredibly nervous all of a sudden.

VEGAS motions to the table and chairs. "Please. Sit," he says.

He pulls out a chair for me; and when I'm seated, he slides me in closer to the table. "Thank you," I whisper to him.

I watch his every move as he goes to the other side and takes a seat across from me. I look around the gauze tent, which is decorated with more fairy lights than I've ever seen in my entire life.
