She turns to look into my face.

Epilogue 2
John O’Malley
I know Dad has an agenda when he leans in to speak to me at the back of the church.
Paul and his bride are coming toward us, and we’re all getting ready for formal photos.
Dad says, “Look at Paul and Lucy. They’re as happy and as well-matched as Peter and Giulietta.”
I wonder if he knows Lucy is pregnant. She and Paul mean to keep it very quiet until she’s a little farther along. I understand, she doesn’t want to jinx it. Although I think Paul is the jumpier one of the pair. Lucy is a lot tougher than she seems.
“They’re both great couples, Dad.”
I know Giulietta and Peter have told him they’re expecting twins. It seems incredible but, all being well, in just a matter of months, there should be three new O’Malleys.
Dad says, “Don’t you want to see yourself settled, John?”
“Dad, you know all that I care about is the family, the business, and my poker nights. I’m not really all that interested in any kind of romantic adventures. It’s not me.”
“But you’re the oldest, John. The first-born son. You carry the family name. One day you will be the head of the family. By rights, you should have been married first. Don’t you want that?”
“For the family, Dad, yes, of course I do. It’s how it should be, I know. But I guess I’m just not the marrying type. Look at Paul. He’s wanted to be with Lucy forever. And they complement each other. They’re perfect soulmates. I’m not spending my nights thinking about anyone, Dad. You know I appreciate a beautiful woman, but I don’t crave any of them. I can’t help how I am, it’s just not what sets me on fire, Dad. I’m sorry.”
“No need to be sorry, son.” Dad clinks his glass against mine. “I’ve found a girl who will be perfect for you.”
“Oh, wait up, Dad…”
“She’s from a great family. You’re going to love her. She’ll be flying in from Boston next week.”
