The other man raised his hand. “I’m Ice.” He reached out his hand to Aero. “Nice to meet you guys.”

“Aero.”

I tipped my head to them. “I’m Throttle, and this is Dove.”

Aero nodded to Sloane, who was still petting the dog. “And that is Sloane.”

“And they are getting married,” Hannah cheered. “Here! They just got their license and were trying to figure out where to do it.”

Mercury nodded. “Congrats.”

“There’s a chapel down by the river,” Ice offered.

“Oh,” Hannah sighed. “That place is so pretty. It’s a tiny steepled church that the river runs behind.”

Sloane looked up expectantly at Aero. “That sounds really nice.”

Aero shrugged. “I don’t care where we do it as long as you sign that paper, babe.”

“Look, honey,” Hannah laughed. “He’s as romantic as you are. It must be a biker thing.”

Ice scoffed.

Sloane stood and moved next to Aero. “Uh, do you know who we can contact about getting married at the church? I know we could technically just sign this paper and be married, but I wanted some kind of a ceremony.”

“I do!”

Sloane waited for Hannah to tell her who owned it.

Hannah excitedly pointed her finger into her chest. “I own it. I bought it last summer since it butts up to our house. I’m kind of modest about telling people about it, and Ice picked up right away that someone needed to tell you guys about it, but it wasn’t going to be me.”

Ice rolled his eyes. “Tell me how someone who owns the huge sawmill in town can be modest.”

Hannah now rolled her eyes. “My sister basically owns it, and I’m the company accountant.” She waved her hand. “But that’s not important. What is important is you guys are getting married, and you can totally use my chapel if you want!”

“I, uh.” Sloane glanced at Aero.

Aero shrugged. “If that’s what you want, babe.”

Sloane turned to Dove.

“Uh, duh. You totally need to get married at the chapel with the river running behind it,” Dove laughed. “You’d be crazy not to.”

Sloane clapped her hands together. “Then it’s decided. We would love to get married at your chapel.”

Hannah pumped her fist in the air. “Yes! And I know just the person to marry you.” She pointed at Mercury, who just rolled his eyes but didn’t protest. “Mercury has married nine other couples in town, and you guys would make ten. However, we might have to push back the big day to tomorrow so I can do a little cleaning and decorating. Is that okay?”

Sloane nodded and threaded her fingers through Aero’s. “Tomorrow is perfect.”

Dove sheepishly raised her hand. “You wouldn’t happen to also know of a place to stay, would you?”

Hannah beamed proudly. “There just so happens to be a three-bedroom cottage set back from the chapel that was the minister’s home when there were Sunday services.”

“Oh, uh, I was more talking about a hotel or something. You’re already doing so much for us by letting us use the chapel.” Dove tipped her head down the street. “We’re not picky.”

“Nonsense. It’s perfect for you to stay at the cottage. It’s all ready for visitors. Just give me an hour to make sure everything is perfect, and you guys can head down there.”

Dove glanced at me.
