Bradan is the matchmaker - a well-known one. Had a whole magazine piece done on him and everything.

[For Lizzie's information, he knows that Eliza and Quinn already know. But back to the gossip matter at hand.]

But Bradan hasn't given any indication one way or the other? Not that that's surprising, he's the worst of them to read.

[At least in Danny's opinion, his family may know Bradan better.]

But Callahan keeping his mouth shut probably means something.

( Hm, there's something about a matchmaker and the one that got away. It should be a movie. )

Wouldn't have said anything had Callahan not. And before I was given a ride, Uncle Braid and Mr. McNally were in the back of the house. Didn't look any different when they came back, though. Disappointing if you ask me.

( For someone who doesn't need love for herself, everyone else should have it. )

If there's no traction or talk, there will be a niece intervention easy enough.

How does Cole feel about that?

[Nieces are nieces but this is Cole's dad. He has a feeling that he might feel one way or another about it.]

I hadn't asked, he was busy entertaining the grans. But, he doesn't talk too highly about his other da'. Days on set are well and good, but when you're minded, apparently, not that cool.

( And then to Lizzie. )

Cole McNally's Maeve's best friend and his other da's on this soap opera. Never seen him in person and he's been Maeve's best friend since primary school.

Well, check with him before you have an intervention anyway.

[Sometimes seeing your parent with someone else can throw you for a loop. Not that Danny would know personally. Both of his parents are dead. This gossip is a very welcome distraction from that.]

Because knowing Bradan, you might need that intervention.

[He is stubborn.]

Already devising. But, I promise, I'll ask the opinion of a secondary schooler.

( "At least he won't lie to you. But, Bradan hasn't been in his dad's life in a long time, according to your grandmother. But, if he's into it." Lizzie shrugs. )

[Danny shrugs in return.]

Bradan's just really hard to read. He's got a really good poker face.

[Danny assumes it's by necessity because he's sure that people say some weird shit when they're looking for a matchmaker, but Danny only knows this through experience in trying to win a game against him.]

Honest? I didn't even know who he really fancied. Never seen him with anyone, or heard about it. Uncle Cal's his own thing, you just don't ask, but Braid...

( Well. )

Kind of excited for him to - I don't know - find something that isn't his nieces or his cats or his multi-million dollar business.

[Or at least someone he's invested in enough to bring around family. Because that hasn't come up just yet. Bradan isn't a monk but Quinn wouldn't know that.]

Hope it works out then.

[And he does, Quinn has a good family.]

( She's eighteen. And he has boundaries. )

You underestimate the power of three determined sisters, Brighton.
