Waking up to a text message from Charlotte that let him know she would be shopping with Liv and Penny all day before meeting him out at Kieran's, freed up a good bit of the day for Auggie to tend to a few post wedding related things before his bachelor party.

Without a whole lot of guidance, growing up in the romance department, Auggie spent most of the day wandering around The Store trying to pick out things he thought Charlotte might like. The idea he had come up with to make their first time as a married couple special, he knew was a good one, but he wasn't exactly sure how to pull it off. Just as he started to get frustrated with himself for not being able to figure it out, he turned a corner into home decor and was inspired.

Auggie pulled up to Kieran's feeling proud of himself. In one week from tomorrow, he was going to marry a woman he knew was going to be just as impossible to live with as she was to live without, then he was going to show her the definition of special with a hell yeah, damn straight Auggie's the mother effin' man.

As soon as he got out of his truck and reached the porch, Kieran stepped outside.

"Awfully chipper for a man about to meet his demise, aren't ya?" He laughed.

"Hell yeah, I'm goin' down a happy man."

Kieran smiled as if he were still joking but Auggie caught the seriousness of his tone as he replied, "Damn shame, I always thought you knew better than the rest of us."

There was no more humor in him as he asked, "You gotta problem?"

Tilting his head to the side, Kieran questioned, "Do you?"

With a hard scowl, Auggie replied, "If you got somethin' to say, say it."

Holding his hands out to his sides, he shook his head saying, "No problems here."

"You sure?"

Kieran stared at him for a minute before walking to the porch swing and sitting down.

Following him, Auggie took the chair next to the swing and waited for Kieran to answer.

"You ever have a thought that gets in your head and you can't get it out? It just digs itself deeper, gnawing at you as it grows?"

Instantly, the thought of Charlotte with his brother Will entered his mind.

"Yea, I do."

Nodding, Kieran shared, "I can't sleep next to her. Every night I wait for her to fall asleep. Then, I stare at her, wondering why the hell I married her."

Auggie was so startled by what his cousin said, he felt like he'd been slapped.

"And I ask myself, if I believe in the legacy, my legacy, then why did I do it. I love her, I know I do. But I can't help thinking if she's the one, I would have taken her mark instead of doing what I did."

"You messin' around on Liv?" Auggie questioned, ready to take a swing the second he said 'yes'.

"Nah, but that's another thing. I think it's more 'cause I'm faithful then I don't want anyone else.
