Pierce had been relieved. He didn’t need the asset, and he especially didn’t want his greedy brother to lay claim to it. Phil had gone quiet after he’d threatened to sue Mr. G last year. Maybe he knew it was pointless to contest the will, or maybe he was biding his time. It didn’t matter. Pierce was ready for a fight if necessary.

We both were. We were a team now and we were stronger together.

We brought our tomatoes inside, showered, and got ready for an evening of fancy tuxes, bright lights, pushy reporters, and screaming fans.

I’d been to a few star-studded events and met celebrities I never in a million years dreamed I’d rub elbows with, and I had to admit, the crowd’s energy and enthusiasm always took me by surprise. I was sure someone would tap my shoulder and show me to the curb. There was no way I belonged here.

But I did.

I belonged with Pierce.

He reached for my hand in the back seat of the SUV as Raul pulled in front of the El Capitan Theatre. He kissed our joined fingers and smiled. “Have I told you I love you?”

“I love you, too.”

“Gah! That never gets old. Meet you on the sidewalk.” Pierce rounded the SUV, waving to his fans before holding out his elbow for me.

“We should switch sides,” I commented.

“Why?”

“The photographers will get a better shot of you and…from that angle, you’re my right-hand man.”

He chuckled. “I will always be your right-hand man, my sweet Lo. Always.”

We kissed on the red carpet lit by flashing lights and with a few thousand people screaming our names. It was surreal to be part of a crowd and alone in your own world at the same time.

No one could touch this.

Not here, not ever.

We’d agreed from the start to protect what we shared. We’d agreed to be brave and honest and to put us first. We wanted to write our own love story and share the best pieces of us with our loved ones now…and fifty years from now.

Everyday was a gift with this man, right by my side.
