A banging on his door, wakes Dart up the next morning. He drags himself out of bed and opens the door, still half asleep. Laurent walks in with two coffee and a bag of bagels. He is all happy and chipper and that makes Dart even grumpier. "Bonjour, D'Artagnan! Wow, you look happy to get married today." 

Dart smiles slightly and says: "Why the hell are you so happy and energetic after last night?"

Laurent chuckles and says: "I had a very fun night. That's all I am sharing." 

Dart drinks the coffee Laurent brought and asks: "How were the rest of the guys?" 

"Kane made sure we all got home or to our hotels safely. I think he drank less than most of us." 

"Yeah, I noticed him taking only a few sips of every drink he got. Very responsible of him." There's another knock at the door and Dart opens it to see Kane standing there with coffee, croissants and a clothing bag. Dart chuckles and says: "Join the party!" 

Kane stares at Laurent and asks: "How? You were so wasted when you walked out with that stripper." 

Dart raises his eyebrow and Laurent says: "And here I was trying my hardest to keep that bit of information from Dart." 

Kane shrugs and turns to Dart: "How are you feeling?" 

Dart says: "I'm starting to wake up from all this coffee." He finishes the one Kane brought too. 

Kane says: "Good. I need to make sure you two are fully aware of what you are doing later. It's a legal thing you know." 

Dart grins at him and says: "And starting to get nervous too." 

Kane says: "No need man. It's all arranged and all you have to do is get dressed, show up and say I do." Laurent is humming as he eats a bagel and the other two guys exchange looks. Dart eats a croissant and then tells the guys that  he is off for a shower. Kane stares at Laurent and says: "Are you going to the wedding in the clothes you wore yesterday?" 

Laurent shakes his head and says: "Waiting for Pierre to wake up. I was supposed to share a hotel room with him and all my stuff is there." 

Kane shakes his head and asks: "So you stayed in that strippers bed all night?" 

Laurent says: "Err, let's go with that." Kane looks him over with a questioning look. Laurent grumbles: "I slept in the garden here, until the sun came up and then I went to get breakfast. Didn't know where to go when she was done with me." 

Kane laughs and says: "Serves you right!" 

Laurent looks annoyed and looks at his phone, the second it beeps. "I'm out. Pierre is awake. You take care of Dart!" 

Kane nods and says: "I will. No worries. See you on the beach."



Dart walks out of the bathroom and finds Kane sipping coffee, while sitting at the breakfast bar. "Did the player leave?" 

Kane nods and says: "His night ended a bit pathetic though." Dart raises his eyebrow and Kane tells him all about Laurent's adventure. 

Dart laughs loud and says: "Serves him right!" 

Kane says: "Exactly what I said!" Kane hands Dart a small box and Dart looks inside to see the ring he chose for Jo. He smiles and runs his finger over it. Kane says: "Picked them both up this morning. But I figured Jo wouldn't want you to see yours yet." 

Dart nods and says: "It's really happening, isn't it?" 

Kane squeezes Dart's shoulder and says: "It sure looks like it, man. Lucky bastard." Dart nods and smiles. Kane asks: "Do you mind if I take a shower too, before I put my suit on?"
