He was going to have an amazing life.

Early Afternoon
Divide and conquer was the plan, and while four of their group was heading to the church to start researching, Finn had a whole other mission to accomplish. He was going to get the Marine hooked up.
As in ready for his wedding.
As they reached the village, they walked side-by-side, and people stared.
Michael wasn’t shocked.
He was a stranger there, and he was also walking with a detective for the local polis.
As far as he was concerned, they could stare. Today was the best day of his life, and he wasn’t going to let anything bring him down.
Riley could kiss his ass.
When he’d been lying in that hospital bed, and he’d told him that he’d never be happy because he was picky and that he should be grateful…
Something in him had been broken.
Finding Graham again had healed him.
“Thank you for doing this with me,” he offered. “I really appreciate it.”
The man patted him on the back.
“No worries,” he offered. “I didn’t just do it out of the kindness of my heart. I have ulterior motives.”
Michael lifted a brow.
“And they are?”
He was honest.
“You’re marrying my best friend. I want to know he’s going to be good, and to get to know you.”
He relaxed.
“I’m an open book. I worked for the Blackhawks, and I love Graham.”
He laughed.
“Worked, huh? So, ya aren’t going back?” he asked.
Honestly, Michael didn’t know. He’d have to talk to Graham and see what he wanted to do. Either way, he was good with it.
He’d miss his family, but he’d create a new one here—since he’d already begun doing that.
“If Graham wants to leave, I’m going. If he wants to stay, I’m staying. The last time, I didn’t have money. Now, I do. I can quit my job and retire.”
