Epilogue One

COMP

NINE YEARS LATER:

“ I t’s her first real date, baby. You have to play nice,” Sunny tells me from the kitchen.

“That’s not going to happen. She’s sixteen, Sunshine. How can you even think of letting her go out?” I grumble to Sunny as we hear our ten-year-old twins race down the stairs to the kitchen. Sunny makes her way over to me before placing her hands on my shoulders and a light peck on my cheek.

“You know it’s going to happen. Paisley is really excited, so try not to be too harsh. Okay?” she asks. I just give her a glare, not agreeing to shit. As Koa and Kyler bustle into the kitchen, all dressed up, I have to raise my eyebrows at them.

“And where do you both think you’re going?” Sunny asks them, placing her hands on her ample hips.

After having Paisley, then the twins, she’s gotten plumper, and every time I see her, my hands twitch to grab her and run them up and down her gorgeous body. I lick my lips, staring at her, but she gives me a scowl, pointing her finger at me and waving it in my face.

“Don’t.”

“We’re going with Paisley tonight,” Koa says confidently while smirking up at Sunny. Kyler is the more serious twin, and I know he can tell Sunny’s going to say no when he crosses his arms over his chest and stands his ground. I raise my brows at them, knowing we didn’t raise them to be disrespectful.

“And why would you think you would be going with Paisley?” I ask, mirroring Kyler’s stance and crossing my arms over my chest. He looks away for a split second before looking back into my eyes and holding contact with mine.

Call me impressed.

“Who else is going to protect her? We have to make sure she stays safe,” Kyler says, raising a brow at me. I hear Sunny snicker from beside me.

“Not Helping,” I mutter to her. She smiles before she bends in front of the twins.

“I know you want to protect your sister, and I am so proud of you boys for that, but this is one of those times where we have to trust her. She will be fine, I promise,” Sunny tells them.

They don’t look happy, but they know better than to argue. At that same time, Paisley rushes down the stairs wearing a teal sundress with her hair in loose curls, and I swear I tear up. How has my baby girl grown so much so fast? She must notice my struggle because she immediately walks up to me and wraps her arms around my waist. I place my own arms around her and lean my cheek on the top of her head.

“You look absolutely gorgeous, wildflower. Where did my baby girl go?” I whisper to her.

“I will always be your baby girl, Dad. You are the best thing that has ever happened to Mama and me. Just know, I will never settle for someone who doesn’t treat me as good as you’ve treated Mama,” she whispers, and I can't help it. I let the first tear fall.

In less than two years, she will leave me to head to college, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it. I look up at Sunny and see the tears rolling down her face, but a bright smile takes up the lower half. I give her a wink and a smile before releasing Paisley when we hear a knock at the door.
