Everyone was sitting around the kitchen table as Lexie rushed in, "I've got some great news, Archie's coming home."
"For good!" said Molly excitedly.
"No, Molly, for Jessica's and Duncan's wedding, we're still leaving."
"Well, that's great news, isn't it Duncan," said Jess breaking the long silence.
Duncan nodded
"So, have you set the date yet," said Lexie, I need to tell Archie."
"We're not sure yet," said Duncan
"Well, I'm ready when you are," said jess smiling.
"We better start making arrangements then," said Duncan excitedly
"Go on then, ask him," said Jess, nudging Duncan
"Ewan, I was wondering if you'd like to be best man at the wedding."
"Are you serious Dunc,"
Duncan nodded.
"I'd be honoured."
"Lexie, I'd really like you to be bridesmaid" said Jess
"That'd be lovely," said Lexie
Jess and Duncan both wanted a small but spectacular wedding; they wanted to be around the people they loved, their family and their friends.
"Archie!" Lexie shouted as she ran up the path to meet him, she'd missed him so much.
"Lexie," he gave her a big hug as Molly, Paul, Duncan, Jess and Ewan followed behind.
"I'd forgotten how much I'd missed this place," said Archie to Molly
"Duncan, I didn't know you had it in you, taking the long walk up the aisle."
He turned to molly
"Mother, how have you been, how's everyone."
"Great, it's fantastic to have you home, where you belong."
Seeing Glenbogle made him almost wish he wasn't leaving, leaving his friends and family. Would another highland wedding make him change his mind, make him realise what he'd miss if he left. He wouldn't be able to watch Paul run the estate, he wouldn't be close to his mother, he wouldn't be able to watch Jess and Duncan attempt to handle married life. He thought back to that day he first met Paul and how he had said to Golly that he didn't know how he ever thought he could live away from Glenbogle, could he?
