Mary Fran and Matthew
children right here in Aberdeenshire.”
    He kissed her cheek, and Mary Fran felt her heart melt. “We need a bed, Matthew. Right now, we need a bed and a door with a stout lock on it.”
    “I have something better, Mary Frances.”
    He kissed her other cheek, and she rocked into him more tightly. “What could be better than a bedroom with a locked door and you and me on the mischief side of it?”
    “Not much, almost nothing, in fact.”
    This time he kissed her mouth, a luscious, lingering kiss that had Mary Fran wondering if the two trunks were still stacked along the wall. She eased back, prepared to drag him bodily to her bedchamber.
    He resisted long enough to reach into his vest pocket and withdraw a piece of paper.
    “What’s that?”
    “The only thing better than that locked bedroom, my love. This is a special license, and it has our names on it.”
    As it turned out, they made use of the special license fairly quickly, with all of Mary Fran’s family in attendance, including Fiona and one black-and-white cat. Thereafter, they made use of the bedroom with the locked door with great frequency, until Fiona was a big sister many times over, and the MacGregor brothers uncles many times over as well.
