Chapter 59: Sofia

When I wake up the next morning, the sunlight is streaming through the window, bright and warm, but I’m surprised to find that I’m alone in bed. The guys are always here when I wake up, especially after last night’s bizarre deer incident. I stretch out under the covers for a moment, letting the warmth sink into my bones before I push myself up and head to the washroom.

After a quick shower, I change into a soft, off-the-shoulder sweater in a light cream color, paired with my favorite pair of worn skinny jeans. I pull my hair into a loose bun, letting a few strands fall around my face, and grab a pair of fuzzy socks to keep my feet warm. Something about the peacefulness of the cabin makes me feel cozy, like I don’t have to worry about dressing up or impressing anyone.

When I make my way out of the room and head toward the kitchen, I stop dead in my tracks at what I see.

The kitchen looks like something out of a magazine. The guys have outdone themselves. A beautiful breakfast is spread across the counter—pancakes stacked high with powdered sugar dusted over the top, fresh coffee brewing, and bowls of fruit, including blueberries... the very ones Nate and I had picked together two days ago. The table is set with candles, flickering softly, and everything looks so perfect that I almost don’t believe my eyes.

Then I spot the small box sitting in the middle of the table.

Before I can say anything, I feel arms wrap around my waist from behind. I turn to see Leo, pressing a kiss to the side of my head. “Morning, princess.”

I smile up at him, still trying to process everything, and before I can ask, Nate appears, brushing a soft kiss over my temple. “You slept well?” he asks, his voice low and warm.

Riley is next, grinning as he ruffles my hair before leaning in to kiss my forehead. “Morning, Sof.”

And then Danny comes last, pulling me into a tight hug and kissing me lightly on the lips. “Good morning, baby girl.”

I blink at all of them, my heart swelling in my chest as I take in their sweet gestures and the cozy, intimate breakfast they’ve put together. “Why did you guys do all this?” I ask, feeling a little overwhelmed. “What’s the occasion?”

Leo grins, reaching for a plate of pancakes. “We wanted to make your last morning at the cabin special.”

Nate nods, pulling out a chair for me to sit. “You deserve it.”

I take a seat, still feeling like I’m in some kind of dream, and we all dig into the delicious breakfast they’ve prepared. We talk, laugh, and share stories, the atmosphere light and easy. Every now and then, one of them sneaks a blueberry from my plate or refills my coffee, making me feel like the most cared-for girl in the world.

After a while, the conversation slows down, and I notice Riley reaching for the small box in the center of the table. He hands it to me with a small smile. “This is for you, Sof.”

I stare at the box for a moment, my heart suddenly racing. “What’s this?” I ask softly, running my fingers over the smooth surface.

“Open it,” Nate says, leaning forward a little, his eyes filled with warmth.

With shaky hands, I carefully lift the lid of the box, revealing a delicate gold necklace with a tiny heart pendant. Inside the heart are five tiny flowers, pressed and preserved, each one representing something so small, yet so precious. My breath catches in my throat as I take it in. It’s beautiful.

Danny gently lifts the necklace from the box and steps behind me, his fingers brushing against my neck as he fastens it around me. The pendant rests just above my heart, and I touch it gently, feeling a swell of emotion rising inside me.

“Why... why did you get this for me?” I ask, my voice trembling slightly.

Leo meets my gaze, his expression soft, but there’s a seriousness in his eyes that I don’t often see. “We wanted to ask you something.”

My heart is pounding now, and I look around at all of them, each of their faces filled with love and anticipation.

Riley clears his throat, leaning in a little. “We’ve all been talking, and... we know how we feel about you. You mean everything to us, Sofia.”

Danny reaches out, taking my hand in his. “We wanted to ask you... if you’d be our girlfriend. All of us.”

The room seems to stand still for a moment as their words sink in, and I feel like the breath has been knocked out of me. My chest feels tight, and I can hardly believe what I’m hearing.

“All of you?” I repeat softly, my eyes darting between them. “You all want...”

Nate’s hand covers mine on the table, his thumb gently stroking my skin. “We’re not asking you to choose, Sof. We want you to be with all of us. If that’s something you want too.”

I can feel tears prickling at the corners of my eyes, overwhelmed by the love and tenderness in their words. The fact that they’ve all come to this decision together, and the way they’re looking at me right now, makes my heart ache in the best way possible.

“I... I don’t even know what to say,” I whisper, my voice breaking slightly.

Riley smiles, his hand resting on my knee under the table. “You don’t have to say anything right now. Just think about it, okay?”

But I already know my answer. I’ve known it for a while now, even if I was too afraid to admit it. These four men have become everything to me. They’ve given me a sense of belonging, of love, that I never thought I’d find.

I nod slowly, my fingers gently touching the pendant around my neck. “Yes,” I whisper. “I want that. I want all of you.”

The smiles that spread across their faces make my heart soar, and before I know it, they’re all pulling me into their arms, hugging me, kissing me, making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

“We love you, Sof,” Danny murmurs against my hair.

“And we’ll always take care of you,” Leo adds softly.

I close my eyes, sinking into their warmth, feeling the weight of the necklace against my chest, and knowing that I’ve found something truly special. Something I never want to let go of.
