A Very Vegas St. Patrick's Day (Very Holiday, #3)

Why can’t I say no to Nolan? More like Yeslan.

“The Celts had a word—anam cara. It means soul friend. Y’know? Someone or something even that you have a soul connection with. Something you can’t explain on a rational level. Someone who comes into your life and makes you more of who yer meant to be.”

“Here’s to lyin’, cheatin’, stealin’, drinkin’. If we lie, may we lie together. If we cheat, may we cheat the devil. If we steal, may we steal each other’s hearts. And if we drink, may we drink to each other’s happiness…”

May the devil cut the toes off our foes, That we may know them by their limping.

“I have known many, liked not a few, loved only one… Cora, my love… I drink to you.”

“Then let’s do what fathers and sons do. Team up to defeat the mother and stop her from ruining our family.”

May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load, may the mist of Irish magic shorten every road, may you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed, and may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.

When the roaring flames of your love have burned down to embers, may you find that you’ve married your best friend.
