Both Martin and I had surprisingly much fun at the party. After we both had refused a couple of offers to dance, people

got the picture and we spent most of the time chatting with people. Martin asked me to dance and he was a good

dancer. Neither of us had been drinking and as evening turned to night and the party got a little wilder, we decided to

head back to town. CeCe and Jessy had left at one point and we just waved to the sisters and some of the guests as we

left.

“That was a nice wedding. I was afraid it would feel stiff as I didn’t know anyone but you,” Martin said as we were in the

car.

“CeCe and Jamie are easy going. I’m not surprised they had an easy going wedding. It suited them,” I told him. We

parked on the back of the coffeeshop. “Want to take a walk before we turn in?” I asked.

“Sure.” We walked along the lake and ended up on the same picnic table where Finlay and I had sat when we first met.

The night was quiet, as most people in the town were at the wedding.

“What about you?” I asked.

“What about me, what?” Martin tried to evade.

“Are you looking for your true mate?” I asked, not letting him get away.

“Yeah. I can’t see myself settling down with anyone else, always wondering who is out there and if she is waiting for me.

I’m not saying I don’t scratch the itch once in a while,” he told me and gave me a grin. “But it’s always with someone

who knows it’s just for the night. We have a night of fun and everyone is happy.”

“Sounds like a good deal.”

“I’m not going to offer it to you,” he said.

“I hope not. I would hate to have to beat you up,” I told him. We looked at each other and laughed. We texted Sam and

Finlay while we sat looking out over the lake. Then we headed back to sleep.
