“I don’t care. Ring it up for me. That’s the ring I have to have for my wife-to-be. I want seventy years with her too.”
That was sweet.
“I’ll give you my employee discount, troll.”
He figured she would.
As Catherine’s boss rang the sale up, she leaned on the counter to talk to her brother.
“Mum has heard about her.”
Oh, boy.
“And?” he asked. “What did she say about the divorced part?”
Finn wasn’t dumb. He knew where that would go right off the bat. Fiona wasVERYreligious.
“She wasn’t thrilled.”
His heart sank.
“BUT…I told her that she had withstood abuse at the hands of her husband, and she had to escape.”
He was honest.
“He hit her so hard he fractured her cheekbone. He was terrible to her,” he said, getting red.
“Calm down, Fineas. When I told Mum that, she changed her mind immediately. Then, when I told her that Rosie was back, and she hit you…”
Finn laughed.
He knew his mother.
“She tried to go after her, didn’t she?” he asked.
Catherine had laughter in her eyes.
“Yep.”
Well, he wasn’t shocked.
Not.
At.
All.
“She said that you absolutely can marry a woman who is divorced if she was forced into that separation by violence. Fiona believes that God makes exceptions, and that’s the big one for her.”
Immediately, he was relieved.
“Thank you, Catty. I appreciate you telling her. I would have married her either way, but it helps if my family approves. We’re getting married quickly.”
Catherine lifted a brow.
“You are?”
He was to the point.
