My face.
Okay…
What was going on?
And now he was educating me. “Someone offers to help, ye accept.”
“You didn’t even know the ceremony wasn’t the end of the festivities,” I pointed out.
“Been to weddings before, lass. That isn’t lost on me. But I dinnae ken what more ye could do now. The food is cooked. The cake is on show. The DJ is set up and soon to be spinning. I didnae know ye had that plan for Alex, and now I’m in to make certain she’s covered.”
I didn’t have time to argue this, so I snapped, “Okay, fine.”
His lips curved. “Sweet as ever, I see,” he teased.
“I didn’t ask for your help,” I reminded him.
“Well, ye got it regardless,” he returned.
I was so done with this conversation.
“Can you let me go now?” I requested.
He turned his head and jerked up his chin, so I turned mine too and saw Gage heading our way with my binder.
Thank you, God.
“Aye, I can let you go,” Dair said, and did just that.
I began to hustle toward Gage.
But as I did, I heard him finish, “For now.”

I was tipsy.
And it was Dair’s fault.
How?
Every time I turned around (not really, but mostly), he was shoving a full glass of champagne in my hand.
Of course, I didn’t have to drink them, but Dair had also been true to his word about helping me keep everything good for my sister.
Surprise of the century: it was safe to say he’d grown more dedicated to the binder than me.
But I hadn’t taken into account Alex’s wedding would obviously be filled with a ton of people who knew and loved Alex, all of whom would look after her.
Most importantly, Rix.
