Graham was amused for Gabby. Since Finn was his best friend, he knew the LAST thing he wanted was his woman doing ANYTHING ghost-related.

“What?” she asked. “Like I said, I’m bored.”

Finn…

Not so much.

Likely because his hacker wife may, or may not, be kidding about getting into trouble while she was bored. It was clear he didn’t know.

“Keep it up, Lass, and you’ll find ye self over my knee!” Finn warned.

Well, it seemed they all had the same plans for the evening, now didn’t they?

Different man.

Different knee.

“I called because we’re taking a trip into town tomorrow. Are you up for some breakfast and shopping?” he asked. “I know Finn likely has to work.”

Oh, hell, yeah!

Was she up for some company?

Absolutely.

Gabby really was bored out of her mind while Finn was at work all day.

“I’m in. I need a pretty dress for the wedding. I’m assuming Gryphen and Ian are still getting married in a few weeks.”

That they were.

Well, as far as he knew.

“I haven’t heard otherwise,” he stated. “We’ll have company,” Graham admitted.

Now, color her curious.

“Who?” she asked.

This was where it got delicate.

“If I tell you, you have to swear to God you won’t say a word.”

She was puzzled.

“What is this about, Laddie?” Finn asked, hearing that last part. “Is it one of my sisters up for some mischief?” he asked.

Not quite.

“Promise,” he said to Gabby.

And she did.

“I solemnly swear to uphold the…oh, wait. That’s the wrong swear. Of course, I’ll say nothing, Graham. What’s going on?”

He told her.

“Elizabeth is here.”
