That was true.
Melon had all but latched on to Slone since we’d “moved in together.”
Now, I no longer had two tigers devoted especially to me.
They were equally Briley’s and Slone’s, too.
Exactly how I wanted it.
“Next show is in ten,” I heard Simi call. “You want to do it or should we go to plan B?”
I pushed up out of my husband-to-be’s arms and signaled to her with an ‘okay’ sign.
“I’ll do it,” I said.
Though my issues weren’t solved, I’d gotten them even more under control than I’d managed before Slone.
“And you’re leaving after this?” Simi asked, rubbing her distended belly.
“Yep,” I confirmed. “Slone said we’re getting married. So we’re getting married. Backup has arrived?”
Simi was already pointing behind her.
A month after all the excitement with the tigers, we’d decided that the best course of action for all of us was to hire a few permanent workers that could cover for us when we felt like we needed a break.
And even Keene was using that backup from time to time.
Life had gotten a whole lot sweeter since Slone had come into my life.
“You’re smiling awfully big there, Ari,” Slone said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I leaned into him and looked up into his eyes before saying, “I have a lot to smile about.”

Sixty Minutes Later
I watched as my twin sister got married.
She’d just kissed her husband when I turned and walked away.
“You’ve done the right thing, staying away.”
I looked over at the man that I’d fallen in love with—a man that just might get me kicked out of my family permanently—and shrugged. “Maybe. I hope I did the right thing.”
He pulled me into his arms and said, “You found her stalker, sent him to jail, and overcame your issues.”
“I didn’t overcome my issues.” I snorted. “You just replaced them.”
He pinched my side. “Good enough for me, baby.”
It was good enough for me, too.
