harm, no foul, I just thought I’d make the offer.”
    “I appreciate it, but I don’t see it happening.”
    “No problem.”
    “I’ll talk to Morgan, but I don’t think we’ll do it.   I really appreciate the offer.   Should I contact them and say something?”
    “First talk to Morgan.   If she doesn’t want to even look at the place, then I’ll talk to Jovana.   If she wants to look at the place, then we can do that, and if you guys decide against it, then maybe it would be good to send a little note or something.”
    “I don’t think Morgan is going to want to get married over a bar.”
    “It isn’t like that, but you guys need to decide what’s right for you.”
    “When do we have to decide?”
    “Considering I don’t even know when you’ve decided to tie the knot, that’s hard to say.”
    “Right.”
    “That was a rather non-subtle hint for you to share your wedding date with me.”
    “Last I heard it was the third weekend, next month.”
    “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Liam, what’s wrong with you?   Why haven’t you told the world?   That doesn’t give anyone much time.   Have you told Mom and Dad?   Do you guys have a list?   Do you need help?   What can we do?”
    “We don’t want to make a big deal out of the wedding Cara.   We want to make it about the marriage, not the wedding day.   All we want is to be married.   We’ve talked about just going down to the courthouse and seeing a JP.”
    “You know we’ll support you in anything you decide, and if you decide to go to the courthouse, without Mom and Dad there, we will be sure the two of you are buried together.   The family will take very good care of Jordan.”
    “That’s what I told Morgan.”
    “How did she take it?”
    “She said that she loves being part of a family.   She thought she had a tight family growing up, but it didn’t work out that way.   Her family kind of went to the winds a while back.”
    “She’s in for a hell of an adjustment.”
    “I tried to warn her.”
    “There’s no way to do that.   The sane cannot communicate with the insane.   The uninitiated can not fathom what it’s like to be an O’Flynn.”
    “Yeah, I’m trying to break her into the group slowly.”
    “Wise man.   Talk to Morgan and then let me know.”
    “I will.   Thanks for even thinking of us.   Morgan is so organized and she knows exactly what she wants, so I’m pretty much staying out of it.   I know she and Mom talk about it.”
    “Really?   Mom hasn’t said a word.”
    “You’ve been pretty busy trying to figure out if you’re in the crosshairs of a weirdo, I’m not sure anyone wanted to bother you with the details of ordinary life.”
    “Nothing is more important to me than the details of the family.”
    “Speaking of which, did anyone tell you that Maeve is seeing somebody?”
    “No.   Who?”
    “Don’t know.   Did anybody tell you that Troya is painting the house, and that she needs help?”
    “No.”
    “Did anybody tell you that Rory is buying a new car?    I think they’re getting a minivan, which means they’ll have more babies to fill that puppy up.   I don’t know what happened to him.   I thought he was going to be the family stud, then he marries young, really young, and he’s like this Norman Rockwell living tribute to what a family man is supposed to be.”
    “I aspire to be as mature as Rory was at 12.”
    “Me too, Cara.”
    “Are you going to help Troya?   Is she having everybody over?   What’s the poop?”
    “She didn’t want to impose on anybody.   She said that Teagan is just getting back to work, that you’re trying to build your career, that you and Teagan both have new guys, that Rory has the new baby, that Seamus is Seamus, I think maybe Sinead is gonna help, but I’m not sure.”
    “What about Mom and Dad?”
    “They’re busy planning the trip to Ireland.”
    “Have they decided when they are going?”
    “No.   I suggested that maybe Morgan
