where the man’s optimism came from, but after seeing Sierra earlier, he was pretty sure he’d finally figured it out.
“So, Luke,” Tag began. “I’m still curious as to the change in you.”
“What change?” Luke smirked, glancing over at Sierra and Cole.
“You told me last night that you only live once. While I agree, it’s not a perspective I’d have pegged you for.”
“I turned over a new leaf,” he said.
“Yeah?” Tag asked, looking over at Sierra with a grin. “So there’s news?”
Luke lifted his eyebrows, but the smile never left his face. “What news?”
“I know those two make you happy, but I think you’re hidin’ somethin’. Care to share?”
Luke looked at Sierra, and Tag caught her slight nod. When Luke met his gaze again, there was something else there. Pride.
“This is supposed to be your day, so we were waiting to tell everyone.”
The table went silent around them.
“We’re pregnant,” Luke told them proudly.
Silence descended on the table briefly, but then there was a round of clapping and cheers as people were instantly out of their seats, hugging Sierra and clapping Luke and Cole on the back. Tag and McKenna joined in the celebration, going over to Luke directly.
Lifting his wineglass to Luke, Tag tilted it toward him. “Congrats. Just another reason for us to celebrate today.”
Luke nodded, another smile tilting the corner of his mouth.
The instrumental music started, a subtle hint for the next phase of tonight’s program, causing a hush to come over the group.
“I think that’s our cue,” Tag stated, turning his attention to his … wife—God, he loved the sound of that. Face-to-face with McKenna, Tag smiled. “Dance with me,” he suggested to McKenna, his fingers still linked with hers.
As was planned, “All of Me” by John Legend began when Tag led McKenna out onto the floor. He pulled her in close, his eyes locked with hers.
His wife.
When tears filled McKenna’s eyes, he reached up and brushed one away.
“You are the absolute most beautiful woman on the face of the earth. I just thought you should know that.”
McKenna sobbed softly, another tear escaping. “Thank you.”
“I love you,” he whispered.
“I love you, too,” she said softly. “So much.”
Pulling her close to him, Tag moved around the dance floor. This time, as all eyes were on him dancing, he didn’t care. It didn’t matter to him who saw. He wanted the world to watch, to know just how much he loved this woman, how overwhelmingly happy she made him. This was, by far, the greatest day of his entire life.
A few minutes later, the song faded away but quickly transitioned into another, and that was when McKenna’s father came over, asking for permission to cut in. Tag placed McKenna’s hand in her father’s and turned to find McKenna’s mother standing on the sideline. He moved toward her, reaching for her hand.
With a beaming smile, Diane accepted his offer.
“Today was perfect,” Diane told him as they moved slowly around the dance floor, allowing McKenna and her father to maintain the spotlight.
“She’s perfect,” Tag told her.
Diane smiled up at him. “I’m so glad she found you.”
Tag grinned. “Me, too.”
He remembered back when he’d met McKenna. She’d been the persistent journalist who’d done her best to interfere in his life, trying to get the dirt on him and the McCoys. She was good at what she did, there was no doubt about it, and it hadn’t taken long for Tag to find himself infatuated with her. That feeling had only intensified over time.
“You do know that I’m waiting for the two of you to give me grandbabies,” Diane said with a chuckle.
Tag laughed, his gaze cutting to McKenna’s. If everything went well, hopefully his mother-in-law wouldn’t be waiting long.
When the song ended, Jason came over and asked if he could cut in, making Tag smile. “Should I be worried that you keep stealing women from me?”
