“And?”
“And she didn’t take it too kindly.”
“Really? Could’ve fooled me with all the vitriol coming in my direction,” I retorted sarcastically.
“Well, you earned it. Though we might’ve bent the truth a little, as well.”
“Bent the truth?”
“We told her you asked to see her again, after Dublin.”
“For fuck’s sake,” I muttered.
“Sorry, bro.”
“Sorry isn’t gonna cut it.”
“Well, then. I’m not gonna apologize for the command I’m giving you next. I want you to take care of her while she’s here.”
“No.” No fucking way.
“This is not a fucking request. This is your wedding present to me and your apology to Sophie. And since you owe us one. This is what it takes.”
“You’re really going there.”
“For my wife’s happiness? I’ll go further than you can imagine.”
“Huh.”
“Huh, what?”
“Just huh.” I shook my head slowly, trying to process everything Gabe had just said.
My big brother was head over heels in love with his wife.
Who would’ve thought this could happen after he kidnapped her and then sent her away? Just to let himself get beaten to a pulp by her dad when Donnelly found out Gabe was the father of Sophie’s future child.
And then kidnapping her again as soon as he was out of the hospital.
It seemed borderline unbelievable that all of this ended in a happily married couple—a happy end that was akin to hitting the jackpot.
“Have an eye on Fiona, and also, get her some clothes.”
I stared at him, not letting on just how much she’d occupied my thoughts already.
“Why didn’t you have her bags brought with her?” I asked.
Gabe shrugged. “Never thought of it.”
I stared at my brother, my mind conjuring up the image of a pissed-off Fiona in nothing but my clothes, without permission.
Fee…that’s what Sophie and Gabe called her.
It strangely suited her—better than Fiona, or Aiofe—which I even pathetically researched on how to pronounce.
Fuck.
I sighed and rubbed my forehead. No wonder she was spitting venom in every direction. She’d been drugged and taken against her will just to play the third wheel on her best friend’s honeymoon.
