Chapter Twenty-three

Radford dropped his hand maul in the lumberyard and gaped at Duke. “You’re what?”

“I’m marrying Faith on August second.”

Boyd and Kyle exchanged a shocked glance.

“Stop looking like someone died, fellas. I’m not new at this. I’ve been courting women since I was sixteen. I don’t need months to decide if Faith is the right woman for me. She is, and I’m going to marry her in three weeks. Radford, I’d like you to be my best man.”

Radford’s jaw dropped.

“I stepped in so Evelyn had someone to give her away when she married you,” Duke said, reminding Radford that he’d stood by him during a difficult time. “I’m hoping you’ll stand for my wedding, too.” Duke had considered asking Patrick or Boyd, but he wanted Radford to stand beside him and give his blessing, to witness their vows, and to accept Faith and Adam and Cora as part of their family. “I’d like you to do it.”

Radford gave him a half nod. “All right. I will.” He shook Duke’s hand. “Congratulations,” he said, but sounded like he was offering his condolences.

Kyle gave Duke’s shoulder a hard squeeze. “Does Mother know yet?”

“I told her this morning, and she was pleased. She wants to help Faith plan the wedding.”

Boyd caught Duke’s hand in a firm clasp. “Congratulations. Where’s the party?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

“We can have it at our house,” Radford said.

His offer surprised Duke, and it meant a lot that Radford was trying to be supportive despite his reservations. “Thanks, Rad. I’d like that.”

“What can we do to help?” Kyle asked.

“Welcome Faith, Adam, and Cora to our family,” he said, swelling with pride that his beautiful Faith, his soon-to-be wife, would take her place alongside his lovely sisters-in-laws.
