Lacey giggled as she shook her head. Having her in-laws home was a blessing in disguise. She loved them, but man, they were loud.
“A dude?” Regina asked, a little taken aback. “Who?”
Kacey’s grin grew and Lacey smiled. Her sister-in-law was a beautiful woman. Strong as an ox and built like one too. Her eyes were like razors, sharp and beautiful, while her hair was finally touching her shoulders. Since Karson, her brother and Lacey’s husband, constantly said she was a lesbian, Lacey had noticed that Kacey had started to grow her hair out. If she was a showstopper with short hair, Lord help the male gender when she grew it out.
“No one,” she said, waving her off before tucking her phone in her pocket. “I’m done. What’s up?”
“Well, I’m trying to talk Lacey into having a baby. Help me,” Regina said and Lacey just giggled.
“Ma, please, they’ll do it when they want to,” Kacey said with a shake of her head. “But please, Lacey, pop one out so she’ll shut up.”
Lacey grinned as she shrugged. “I can say we aren’t preventing it, but we aren’t trying. We are giving it to the Lord.”
“I love her,” Regina said with a dreamy look on her face. “She’s a great woman: smart and beautiful and God-fearing. We picked a good one for our Karson.”
Lacey laughed as she shook her head. “I’m pretty sure he picked me.”
“Yes, but we decided to keep you,” Regina said with a wink before kissing Lacey’s cheek. “Best decision ever. Now we just need Kacey to find a good man.”
Kacey scoffed at that. “Please. There are no good men in the world. Daddy and Karson have set the bar too high.”
“Agreed,” Lacey said, sending Kacey a grin. “But yours is out there.”
“Eh, I’m good with my life.”
“That’s all that matters,” Lacey said before Regina could object to that.
“I’m gonna take these to the men,” Regina said, taking the meals that Lacey had just plated and leaving for the living room.
Smiling contentedly, Lacey took a sip of her tea as she looked around the kitchen. She loved this kitchen. She loved her house. She loved Nashville. But most of all, she loved Karson so much. The last month had been perfect. They couldn’t be more in love, and everything was moving great for them. They were still looking for a location to expand Lacey’s Lace, but she knew in her heart that the right place was there, and when she found it, it was on.
She couldn’t wait to open the new store. She decided that Rachel would be the manager of the one in Chicago, and she would take over running the one in Nashville. Thinking of Rachel, she smiled. She and Grady had left two days ago after spending Christmas with Lacey and the Kings. Lacey was surprised when her brother said that he wanted to spend Christmas in Nashville because that meant they wouldn’t be spending it with their dad since Lacey still wasn’t talking to him.
