"Till death do you part?" The priest finishes off with.
"I do," I answer - knowing how ready I am to die with this man.

"Has he called back yet?" Xav asks Amber.
"No, and it's been three days," Amber replies concerned.
We're all in the livin' room. Or at least most of us. Paul is sittin' on a couch with the ever-growin' golden boy on his lap. I must say, Pollock would make a great coat if he wasn' part of the family. Still, the little pup and I have a score to settle after I caught him chewin' mah damn heels. I eye him and I swear he looks smug. The twins are sittin' by the fireplace - playin' cards. And Xav and Amber are snuggled on a sofa with papers surroundin' 'em as they're tryin' to get business sorted out. I've been watchin' the two lovebirds stress abou' Blake for far too long now. What I'm concerned over is Man Candy. Blake is Owen's guardian or somethin' and if the bastard is off the chart, so is Owen.
"What happened when ye spied on the South?" I ask frustrated.

"Blake can be six feet up Jane's arse for all I care. I say we go to his hoose and get Man Candy," I say irritated.

"Xavi, I told you Blake wouldn't betray us," Amber warns.
I watch mah leader send Amber a sorry look. She smiles back at him before plantin' a winch on his cheek and sortin' through more paperwork.
"What if Man Candy is in danger?" I press.
And then I can see it. The undeniable stress and worry in Amber's eyes. "I really want to go check on them, but Xav and I have been talking about it... Now that Sterling and the South is merged, all they need to do to win is kill me and Xav. We die and it's checkmate. And... and I don't even want to think about what would happen to the rest of the world if that's the case," Amber says. I know she probably wants to save Owen and I get what she means, but...
