If they could clear the air, maybe it would settle down before Elizabeth sashayed her ass here and saw the crazy going down.
She’d burn this castle to the ground and dance around it in her cowboy boots.
Tony nodded.
“Look at you caring like they are family,” he said. “Crazy, huh? And you said you didn’t have family.”
He shook his head.
“You’re a dick.”
Yeah, well, tell him something he didn’t know. What he did know was Graham was a bit better.

As they reached the church, there was a note on the door from Alfie McCullum, the minister, and it was bad news for them.
Apparently, he was out running errands, and had locked the place up until he was back later.
Well, that wasn’t going to help.

He reminded her.
“From that message from Ian, he said that they exhausted the book situation. We might have to do it all online.”

If you guys are right, he would have been on the battlefield with Duncan, and might not have been the one who hurt her.”
Finn considered it.
