LOGAN MCCORD HATED two things: clowns and liars. Tonight, he saw both right in front of him on the antique desk in Langfordâs Interior Designs, and he knew his life had changed forever. He would never look at a red squeaky nose the same way again.
Ten minutes earlier
LOGAN GLANCED AT the four signs and groaned.
Marry
Me?
You
Will
It was not the way he wanted to present this proposal to his future wife.
His younger brother, Riley, was carrying the You. His twin brother, Lucky, the Will. Rileyâs wife, Claire, the Marry. Luckyâs girlfriend, Cassie, the Me?
âUnless I want this proposal to sound like Yoda, switch places,â Logan insisted.
Since everyone but Logan had clearly had too much to drink in the precelebration prep for this occasion, he took them by the shoulders and one by one put them in the right places.
Lucky. Riley. Claire. Cassie.
âWill you marry me?â Logan double-checked. Then he checked again.
Logan wanted this to be perfect while still feeling a little spontaneous. Just the day before, his longtime girlfriend, Helene Langford, had told him he should be a little more whimsical.
Somewhat wild, even.
Logan was certain most people in their small hometown of Spring Hill, Texas, wouldnât consider him wild even when the expectations were lowered with that somewhat. That was his twin brother Luckyâs specialty. Still, if Helene wanted something whimsical, then this marriage proposal should do it.
Helene was perfect for him. A savvy businesswoman, beautiful, smart, and her even temperament made her easy to get along with. Sheâd never once complained about his frequent seventy-hour workweeks, and he could count on one hand how many disagreements theyâd had.
She was the only child of state senator Edwin Langford and a former Miss Texas beauty contestant. Her family loved him, and Logan was pretty sure his own family felt the same way about her.
âYou got the ring?â Lucky whispered. Or rather, tried to whisper.
Yeah, his siblings, sibling-in-law and future sibling-in-law were buzzed on champagne, all in the name of celebrating the fact that he was finally going to pop the question to the woman heâd been dating all these years.
Logan double-checked the ring. The blue Tiffany box was in his jacket pocket. It was perfect, as well. A two-carat diamondâflawless like Heleneâwith a platinum setting. It would look just right on the hand of the woman who would eventually help him run McCord Cattle Brokers.
He took another bottle of chilled champagne from his car. This one he would share with his future bride right after she said yes, and heâd do that sharing without his family around. He wanted to get Helene alone, maybe show her just how spontaneous he could be by having sex with her on her pricey antique desk. The very one she had professionally polished every week.
âAll right, no talking once weâre inside,â Logan reminded them. âNo giggling, either,â he warned Claire.
It was dark, after closing hours, and any chatter or giggling would immediately carry through the building and all the way to Heleneâs office in the back of her interior design business. He wouldnât have to worry about other customers, though, since it was Wednesday, the night that Helene used to catch up on paperwork.
