Nana stopped our bickering when she walked over to grip my hands in hers.
“Look at you, all grown up.” Nana looked at me, her eyes soft. “What are you waitin’ for, Bossanova?”
“You,” I replied simply.
“What?”
“I couldn’t get married without you.” I shrugged. “Who would walk me down the aisle?”
Nana pressed her lips together, her eyes crinkling in the corners.
“Finally!” Rumi yelled, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind and lifting me off the floor. Nana giggled as our hands were pulled apart.
I laughed as Bird cheered.
“Are you serious?” Rumi asked, putting me back on my feet so he could look into my eyes. “You’ll marry me now?”
“How does tomorrow sound?” I teased.
“Hell yeah,” he cheered quietly.
For a split second, I had a vision of the thirteen-year-old boy who’d invited himself along to the river with us.
Telling him I’d finally marry him felt a lot like that afternoon when, with Pop and Rumi watching, I’d finally jumped off the rope swing.
