Chapter Eleven

“I accept,” John stated in a hurry, before she could take her sudden proposal back. “Sam, get up off your duff! You’ve got a job to do.”

Sam blinked his eyes sleepily, then jackknifed to a sitting position. “Is there a raid? What’s happening?” He looked around wildly. John realized he was probably searching for his firearm and primed to hit the ground running.

“Easy, brother. We’re in Austin,” John said softly, and Sam relaxed as if someone had pulled the air out of him. His brown hair was stood on end, but John could almost hear his blood pressure calming. “Didn’t mean to scare the hell out of you.”

“Man, I don’t know. Guess I was dreaming.” Sam looked at Daisy, who wore the cutest expression of alarm. “Sorry, Daisy.”

“It’s fine. John should be more delicate when he disturbs you.”

Sam rose, his face returning to the teasing expression they all knew so well. Cagily, he said, “So now that I’m awake, am I performing ministerial duties?”

“Is that really all you came here for?” John demanded.

“I came to see Daisy, and to bring the impending bundles of joy their first present from Uncle Handsome Sam.”

Daisy laughed, but John scowled. “Daisy’s asked me to marry her.” He said it with pride.

“That’s awesome!” Sam laughed. “I hope you don’t regret it, beautiful. I swear I’m the better man,” he teased, going to kiss Daisy’s cheek. John pulled him back when he deemed Sam was being just a bit too attentive.

“That’s enough. Easy, Romeo.”

Sam looked at Daisy. “You don’t have to marry him, you know. I’d do the honors in a heartbeat.”

John sighed. “You don’t even want to get married.”

“No, but I can make an exception in this case.”

“That’s enough. You have a wedding to perform, and it’s not your own.”

“And perform it I will!” Sam rubbed his hands together. “We don’t have a second to spare.”

“Well, actually,” Daisy said, “we need to spare a few moments.”

John put up his hands. “You asked, I accepted, we have a willing pastor to officiate. Don’t slow us down, Daisy. We’re over the hump here.”

“And it wasn’t easy getting over that hump,” Daisy agreed. “But we can do a lot of good with our marriage, if we play our cards right.”

John sank into a chair, stared at the woman he couldn’t quite seem to catch. “Let’s skip playing cards and just get married already.”

“The thing is, we need to do this right. To do it right, we need Madame Matchmaker.”

“We’re already matched. She’s had her hands in our relationship up to her elbows. Maybe not as much as she would have liked, but enough.” John was eager to get the “I do’s” said.

“Not necessarily,” Sam said, and John frowned.

“Whose side are you on? You do realize this woman has eluded me for years? Do you really want to give her a reason to get away from me again?” John demanded.

“Here’s the thing,” Daisy said, ignoring the good-natured ribbing between the men. Sometimes it didn’t sound good-natured, but she knew they had a relationship that went deeper than any silly argument.
