He had his heart back.
As Finn went to go make a call, the rest of the group parked their asses on the big leather couches in the library.
When Gabby grabbed the one ledger, she tucked the letter back inside of it.
For safekeeping.
They were close to piecing all of this together so that Elizabeth could come here and not be haunted.
They hoped.
It was just about tying up some of the loose threads.
“So, what do we do next?” Graham asked from his spot on one of the couches. He was in D’Artangnan’s lap so that everyone could have a spot to sit. “I’m not an investigator, and while I’ve helped out both of you, this isn’t my thing.”
Well, they had this.
It would just take some footwork to make it happen, but it was obvious that Finn, Gabby, and Ian would have to lead on this one.
“We need to get to the church, which ironically is where you two need to be,” Gabby said.
Michael wiggled his eyebrows at Graham, and the man blushed.
Oh, there was no doubt in Michael’s mind that they were going to sin something fierce tonight after they were hitched.
Bet.
On.
It.
This was a long time coming, and there was no way he was not going to live in that moment too.
Ian clarified.
“The archive there is pretty intensive.”
Gabby agreed, even though she went in through the internet, and not in the actual church.
“We’ve only skimmed the top when it comes to Ceit’s sister. I came across her‘marriage’to Duncan by chance because we didn’t originally look into Catherine too much,” Gabby admitted.
Ian agreed.
“When I was there, I researched Ceit, but not her sister. I didn’t know about her being brought there for Duncan to be his child bride, part two. We mainly dealt with Ceit.”
Gabby continued.
“Yeah, we mainly dealt with figuring out who Duncan’s mysterious lover was.”
Michael was trying to focus, but it wasn’t easy. There was a man in his lap, and it just so happened to be a man he had given his heart to years ago.
“What is left to go over, because your wedding, Ian, will be here before you know it? On top of that, we’ve given Elizabeth enough to be wary about, so she is known to be unpredictable. She could pop in just for shits and giggles on a day off.”
Oh, they were aware.
It was important they handled this, and quickly.
Ian rattled it off.
