CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Jack

“Well, that was certainly quite the greeting,” Ry remarks. “I avoid looking your way when we change in the locker room at the gym, but I’ve inadvertently caught glimpses here and there. It’s definitely not as jarring as catching you with your pants at your ankles while you’re with Sarah.”

When I don’t respond, he continues with, “Which reminds me, I guess since she doesn’t have an older brother or dad around that I should officially give you the ‘what’s what.’ Should I call you over for a man-to-man chat and polish my shotgun while we talk?”

I let out a grunt in disbelief. “You don’t even own a shotgun, Ry.”

He crosses his arms and cocks an eyebrow at me. “Or so you think.” Then he tips his head to the side in thought. “I could tell you I know people in Little Italy who will break your kneecaps if you hurt her—”

“You don’t know anyone in Little Italy, Ry,” I interject.

“Or that I know some old Italian Mafia members who will dispose of your body for the small price of a few grand?”

I expel a weary sigh. “Are you done?”

Ry holds up a finger, lips parting, but then appears to think better of it. “Actually, yeah. I think that’s all I’ve got.” His expression turns to one of disgust. “How sad is that? I need to up my game if I ever have a daughter.”

Looking over at my best friend, I shake my head with a little laugh. “You’ll figure it out, man.” After a moment, I ask, “You ready to get hitched soon?”

“Hell yes.”

His lack of hesitation makes me happy—as does the fact that Maggie’s perfect for him.

“So the wedding is the perfect way to get things back on track.”

My brow furrows in confusion at his words. “What do you mean?”

He gestures with a hand. “You know, with a wedding, love is in the air, the champagne is flowing, and there’s something magical about it.” With a wink, he adds, “If you’re careful with the execution, it could be the end to the ‘plague’ you two have been dealing with.”

“From your lips to God’s ears, man,” I murmur, shaking my head. “From your lips to God’s ears.”
