Stella nodded happily. "Dad, Declan is officially part of our family now."

Bob burst into hearty laughter. "That's right! Declan, we're family now. I've already spoken to him, and he's on his way here."

Declan's eyes narrowed slightly. "He is coming?"

Declan was taken aback. "Wedding?"

"That's right, Declan. I've spoken to him, and he's agreed to attend. I've already started making arrangements. You and Stella will be married in three days!"
