“Next Monday.”

“That’s fast.”

Chase shrugged. “I think it’s the best way to keep Sabrina safe.”

Jayson narrowed his eyes. “What really happened last night?” He was too smart to hide anything

“We think the guy who’s after Sabrina had something to do with it. So by us getting married

sooner rather than later, I can protect her better. But you can’t tell anyone. It’s going to be very small
