Chapter 306
“You want to watch me tace or you want to watch others race?‘ I asked, with a knowing smile.
Athena loves to see me race, she wouldn’t want to come along if it’s not to watch me race.
I know I said I was done racing, but I could do it one last time if she asks me to.
“I know you’re not racing anymore but I’d love to watch a race one last time before I leave it all behind.”
“You sure it’s just to watch a race I’m not included” I asked with a teasing brow, I could see the look on her face.
And I know that look, she might plan with Derek to include my name into the list.
“I actually don’t mind” she let out a laugh.
“I know you don’t” I pulled her close and place a light kiss on her forehead, I didn’t withdraw immediately. I stayed there for a while with my eyes, when I pulled away, I pecked her lips.
“Just watching,” I clarified. “I’m not racing.”
“Just watching,” she agreed. “I promise I’ll stay far away from the racing lane, and I won’t try to convince you to let me race.”
“Not funny,” I said but I was smiling.
“Too soon?” she asked.
“Way too soon,” I confirmed.
“So is that a yes?” Derek asked. “You’ll come?”
I looked at Athena who was practically vibrating with excitement beside me, then at Derek and Orion who were both waiting for my
answer.
“Fine,” I said. “We’ll come, but we’re not staying long and Athena stays with me the entire time.”
“Deal,” Derek said, grinning. “Saturday night, I’ll be expecting you.”
“What about me?” Orion asked. “Am I invited?”
“Of course,” Derek said. “Bring Sarah too if she wants, make it a whole thing.”
“I’ll ask her,” Orion said. “Though I’m not sure she’ll want to leave the kids.”

Chapter 306
After Derek left, Athena turned to me with that excited look still plastered across her face,
“I can’t believe I’ll be visiting the racing center,‘ she said. “I’ve missed it a lot,”
I groaned. “You’re going to make me regret this.”
“Probably, she agreed cheerfully. “But you love me anyway.”
‘I do love you,” I confirmed. “God help me.”
She laughed and kissed me, right there in front of Orion who made a gagging sound.
“Get a room,” he said.
“We tried that,” Athena said. “You made us come back downstairs.”

“That’s because you were up there for an hour,” Orion said. “We thought you’d killed each other.”
“Almost,” I said. “But we worked it out.”
“Obviously,” Orion said with a knowing look as he stood up, going to meet his wife, I guess.
We settled back into the couch and she shifted to face me more fully, tucking her legs under her, there was something different in her expression now, something softer and more thoughtful that made me curious about what was going through her mind.
“Can I ask you something?” she said.
“Anything,” I said, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
“What kind of wedding do you want?” she asked, “Like, have you thought about it at all?”
I had actually been thinking about it quite a bit since I’d proposed, lying awake at night while she slept and imagining what our wedding day would look like.
Imagining her walking toward me, imagining the moment I’d get to call her my wife in front of everyone we knew.
“I want one that lets the whole world know I’m marrying you,” I said honestly, watching her face carefully.
