waiting for,” Liam announced as he sauntered into the room with a case of champagne.
“We wanted to wait until everyone was here,” Mika explained. “That way we didn’t spend the evening retelling the same tale. ” She took a seat in a dark blue arm chair. Declan stood at her side and held her hand. “Well, you know I had a date last night.”
Sienna recalled Mika’s description of her date and her mouth dropped open. “It was with Declan?”
Mika laughed. “No. Actually, I’d met Liam and he asked me out. We’d gone to this seafood restaurant he picked and were halfway through our entrees -”
“ By this time, we’d already figured out that we were totally wrong for each other,” Liam interjected.
“And then, I hear the chimes ,” Mika said. “It was just like when it happened to you guys. It was so amazing and exciting.”
“Unless you’re the date being humiliated,” Liam pointed out in a droll tone. Everyone laughed.
“ Anyway ,” Mika continued with a roll of her eyes, “when it came to the part where they tell me the name of my new husband, Liam’s mouth drops open. He called Declan right then and I was so eager to meet him, I came right over. Since then, we’ve been inseparable.”
“I’ve lost both my babies in such a short time period,” Judith said with a sniff.
“Mom, you’re supposed to be happy.”
Judith smiled though her eyes were still suspiciously bright. Christopher put a supportive arm around his wife and she rested her head on his shoulder. “Oh, I am. And as far as I can tell, Bioexpa has earned their excellent reputation.”
“Now, don’t start weeping or I’ll become a blubbering mess,” Moira said. “That’s an ugly sight none of you wants to see.”
“Moira, you’re always lovely,” her husband contradicted.
“Mom, you’ve got no rea son to cry,” Liam said. “You’ve still got me.”
“Now I’m going to cry ,” Seamus said drily.
Liam rolled his eyes and shook his head. “Time for the champagne?”
Mika dragged her into the kitchen ostensibly to check on the lasagna. The door had barely closed behind them before she asked, “So how are things with you and Jakob?”
Sienna laughed. “You get married and that’s the first thing you think to say to me?” She grabbed her friend’s hand and ran her thumb over the wedding band with its white stripe. “What does this mean?”
“What do you think it means?” Her t one was brazen but her cheeks turned crimson. “Look, we’re married. And the heat between us…” She broke off and fanned her face with her hand.
“So does the stripe turn white immediately upon consummation or-”
“Can’t say that I was watching the band,” Mika interrupted with a sardonically arched brow. “Back to you.” She pointed to the pink stripe in Sienna’s wedding band, an indicator that her marriage was unconsummated. “When do you plan to shed this virginal pink? And I can’t believe I’m asking about my brother’s sex life!”
Sienna bent and peeped at the lasagna. A thick layer of cheese bubbled on top. “This looks delicious. And I love this oven.” The appliances were a deep burgundy and contrasted nicely with the gray countertops and tile floors.
“Declan’s a general contractor. He had help from an interior decorator with the design. The entire house is amazing.” She waved an impatient hand. “Stop trying to change the subject.”
Sighing, she leaned against the cabinets. “I’d like to hear more about your marriage. Please, I want to know what it’s supposed to be like.” Even she could hear the longing in her voice. Though she was truly happy for her friend, she couldn’t help being a little jealous. In only a day, Mika and Declan were closer than she and Jakob.
A soft smile curled Mika’s lips. “When Liam introduced us, and our eyes met, it’s as though the rest of the world ceased to exist for a moment. I know the two of them look exactly alike, but there
