The perfect way to celebrate my brother’s new life. He’d gone through a lot with Danny’s mother and her cruelty in keeping his son from him for years. On top of that, he’d loved Nora since his high school days. The fact that they’d finally found their way to each other was one more miracle. Add in the Murdock legacy he was building and there was nothing but pride inside of me for what he’d built.
Sully deserved all of this.
And to stand with Nora in front of the whole damn town.
Now I just had to make sure I didn’t disappoint him. I was the big brother and it was time to be that for him. I ran to my Caddy and parked it near a tree so it was out of the way, then jogged over to the limo where the rest of my brothers and parents were lined up.
Sully was pacing. When he spotted me, he ran over, holding my suit over his arm. “What the hell took so long?”
“You don’t want to know.” I reached for the bag and unzipped the side. “Nothing to worry about, let’s just get you down the aisle, buddy.” I slapped him on the arm. “Time to get your ass married.”
“Finally.”
I laughed. “I couldn’t agree more.”
Even with a sure thing like Nora waiting for him, Sully was buzzy with nerves. He was prowling the gravel parking lot.
I walked over to him and gripped his shoulder. “Everything’s sorted.”
“I know.”
“Then what’s with the pacing?”
Sully fisted his hands at his sides. “I just want to get it over with.”
I arched a brow.
“Not like that. I just want her to be mine.”
“She’s yours with or without the ring, pal.”
“Dad!” Danny scrambled out of the limo, rubbing his eyes.
“Hey, bud.” Sully immediately boxed up his nerves.
“Did I miss it?”
“No. We just thought we’d let you sleep for a bit so you could enjoy the night.”
Danny, Sully’s son, had the same dark eyes as more than half of the Murdock clan. It was either deep, soulful brown or green like my own. His sun shot brown hair stuck up and a crease from the upholstery dug a line down his cheek.
“Where’s mom?”
Sully glanced up at me from his crouched position.
I ruffled Danny’s hair. “It’s bad luck for your dad to see your mom until they get down the aisle.”
His eyes grew a little shiny. “She’s here, right?”
“Hey, sure she is. She’s just getting beautified to marry that idiot.”
Danny swiped at his eyes. “Okay.”
Sully’s worry ramped up again as he stood.
“Tell you what? Why don’t we go over and check on her. The same rules don’t apply to me.” I hugged Danny to my side.
Relief practically rolled off Sully. “Thanks, man.”
