Oakley had wanted Evie to come to his suite early and had deliberately left his own post to be here just in case she arrived before the others.
But it was only after Ian, Kody, and Lana had shown up and gotten drinks, that his door opened and Evie came in with a giggling Taylor. Seeing them together warmed him with a weird sense of pride.
They were bonding. More than that, they’d bonded. They cared about each other and that was important to him.
He’d never be able to be with a woman who didn’t care about his family, and one thing Evie did for sure was care about Taylor; maybe more than she cared about him at this point.
The women exchanged whispers as they approached the seating area, but when Evie spotted him watching her, she widened her smile and narrowed her eyes.
Uh-oh.
