Though he’d dated Taryn, he’d also been on vacation, so his brother might have a point.
“Odds suggest the oldest will be next.” Keaton came up with weird calculations and facts. Not that he taught math, but it must be a professor thing.
Flynn held up his hands. “Not me.”
Garrett’s money was on Keaton. Well, Margot. But he wouldn’t admit that to his younger brother. “Time will tell.”
Flynn’s gaze followed the newlyweds. “I hope Callie and Brandt have kids sooner rather than later to take the pressures off us. As long as Mom and Dad keep working, it shouldn’t be a problem, but as soon as they retire…”
Garrett and Keaton both nodded.
“Boys,” his mother called, motioning them over. “Time for photos.”
As Garrett followed his brothers, he searched for Taryn but didn’t see her. No worries, he would find her at the reception and claim his dance.
All of them.

As Callie andBrandt danced, Garrett sipped champagne. He sat at the family table while Taryn was at another with friends from the First Avenue Business Association.
Margot sat in the empty chair next to him. “You should invite Taryn to sit with you.”
“Callie assigned the seating.”
“That was before you and Taryn—”
He straightened. “Before we what?”
“Worked together on the booth.”
The woman wouldn’t give up. “Good catch.”
Margot’s eyes twinkled. “It was, wasn’t it?”
Garrett laughed.
“I hope you plan to dance with Taryn. Without her help earlier, Callie and Brandt would have been disappointed.”
He turned toward Margot. “How did you find out?”
“Oh, sweet barrister, I know everything that happens in Silver Falls. I’m like that part in the center of a bicycle wheel where all the spokes meet. That’s how I get all my info.”
“You’re not only the town matchmaker but also the head gossiper.”
She gave him a cheeky grin. “Someone has to do it.”
Garrett raised his glass to her. “Welcome to the family.”
“Same to you. We added two doctors, two lawyers, a professor, and a dog whisperer with one ‘I do.’ Given Brandt’s the only kid in the family, the boy did well.”
“So did Callie.”
“For sure.” Margot’s mouth formed a perfect o. “I’m not sure if your people called you, but the sheriff had enough evidence to visit Nick Baxter this evening.”
“I turned off my phone.” Garrett pulled his out of his pocket and turned it on. Notifications popped on his screen. He scanned them. Nick had gotten sloppy this time, and his investigator’s information had been provided to the police. “Your sources are correct.”
“Let’s hope it finally stops him. He’s had it out for Brandt ever since my nephew wouldn’t get involved in some business deal in December. I’m sorry Taryn got dragged into it by making their wedding cake.”
