“I heard the guy’s some big shot. He’s treating his girlfriend and her family to dinner, trying to win over the future in-laws. That’s why he went all out like this.”
“Oh wow, I wish I had a boyfriend that loaded. Seriously, sign me up.”
“He’s really gone above and beyond. The future parents-in-law are going to be so impressed.”
“Right? Hope it all works out for him.”
“Yeah, fingers crossed they make it down the aisle soon.”
Everyone drifted away, their laughter echoing behind them.
Lydia glanced at Connor. “You really didn’t have to go all out.”
Connor just smiled. “It’s the least I could do.”
Chris, standing nearby, grinned. “My brother never used to be like this. Ever since he met you, he’s a completely different person.”
Chris honestly felt like Blake was almost unrecognizable these days.
“Just wait. Once you fall in love, you’ll know exactly how I feel,” Connor said, giving Chris a knowing look.
Connor never really understood romance before. He used to think love was just extra baggage. Now, with Lydia by his side, everything felt brighter, like the world suddenly had color.
Aiden walked over. “Boss, upstairs is ready.”
Connor nodded. “Good job. When we get back, put down whatever bonus you want.”
