He gasped.
And was horrified.
Of course, he was heading home. His wife and two children were there.
Had they been here with him…
Well, that was anyone’s guess.
“Let me guess. Elizabeth was the one who told you to do that, huh?”
She snorted.
“Ding, ding, ding. Keep it in mind. Oh, and we went over the rules. No digging up random graves. No raising hell in a bar, and no marrying anyone. I don’t know what that’s about, butboth Chris and Elizabeth put that on the list. Don’t do any of that shit, Tony.”
He laughed.
And laughed.

EVER.
He warned her.
“Just don’t bring that last part up to my wife,” he said. “Please. She’ll kick my ass, or call her brother to come handle me.”
That was amusing.

They both laughed.
Apparently, Mom was watching.
And warning anyone they came in contact with that one of them—Tony—was a menace.
It wasn’t like she was wrong.
The captain wasn’t done.
“Oh, and Doctor Magnus, Elizabeth said specifically that we were to tell you that if you marryANYONE, she’s leavingyou to clean up the mess. Stay away from roots and the ladies or Jaxon will hear about it.”
Gabby giggled.
Tony rolled his eyes.
