Fighting for Love (Boston Love 2)

My brows furrowed, as did Finn’s. “Huh?” we both asked at once.

Harmony tried like hell not to smile.

Preston sighed. “I tried to reach down and pick up Harmony and then do a cool dance move or something, and when I bent over too much…my pants split open.”

“How is that even possible? Was she lying on the floor?” Finn asked.

Harmony busted out laughing.

“You’ve never had your pants split open?” Preston asked.

Finn shook his head and laughed again. “No, I can’t say I have. You should probably start running again, bro, if you’re splitting your pants trying to dance.”

Preston shot Finn a dirty look. “Fuck you, Finn. I’m going to bed. Good night, Rory.”

I tried desperately not to laugh as I forced out a “Good night, Preston.”

Turning back to Harmony, I giggled. “Oh, my that must have been interesting.”

She slowly shook her head. “You have no idea. How’s my baby?”

Harmony kicked off her heels and let her hair down. It fell along her shoulders, and I couldn’t help but notice the glow on her cheeks. She had needed this night out with her husband, and I was glad I had suggested it.

“She woke up once when Flash barked. She had a very poopy and green diaper.”

Harmony nodded. “Okay. You got her all cleaned up all right?”

I puffed my chest out slightly. Proud that Finn and I had actually taken care of her well. “We did. She has on new comfy pj’s and she fell back to sleep quickly in Finn’s arms.”

Harmony wore a huge smile. “Aw. She loves her uncle Finn so.”

Finn walked over to me and took my hand in his. “As much as I’d love to stand here and chat all night about how amazing I am, we’re heading back to Boston.”

“I thought you were going to stay in the guest bedroom,” Harmony said, wearing a pout.

Laughing, Finn handed me my purse and bag. “Are you kidding? Look at my eye. Your house hates me.”

“It does not!”

I quickly gave Harmony a hug. “Thank you so much for everything. Tell Preston, too.”

I’m sure she noticed I hugged her a little tighter and longer than I should have. When we pulled away, she gave me an inquisitive look.

“Let’s chat tomorrow?” she asked in a hopeful voice.

I gave her a warm smile. “Sure.”

“Night, Harmony. Kiss the princess when she wakes, and tell her I’m sorry her prince had to leave.”

Harmony chuckled. “I’ll do that. ’Night, you guys, and be careful driving.”

Finn kissed Harmony on the cheek. “?’Night.”

My chest felt as if someone was sitting on it. Each step we took, the worse it got. I had to concentrate on my breathing once I got into Finn’s car. This was our last night together, and I would not ruin it.

Flash ran down the hall toward Finn’s front door. I prayed he didn’t bark, since it was two in the morning. I knew Finn was exhausted. He talked about everything and anything on the drive back, purely to keep himself awake. And there was no denying I was fighting to stay awake as well.
