Riley straightened and tried really hard not to get all riled up at the idea of someone else trying to take his place. "I am aware that you are absolutely beautiful and that.." he kissed lightly the top of the hand that was holding his. "it might make a bunch of them envious of us.."
He tilted his head and kissed her lips sweetly. "But I am here for support, not to cause an Irish brawl." He knew what those looked like and had no intention of causing any kind of trouble.
"I will even put on the costume. For you." Riley added, then cleared his throat. "If only because I don't think I'd like your mother to handle the issue. I trust you." He kissed her lips gently and winked at her before heading towards the stairs, dreading the moment he would find out about the costume.
It turned out not to be too bad. It looked like Brigid knew he wasn't interested in being dressed in something that would make him look ridiculous (like a bunny suit). It would be like dressing nicely for an event actually. Smirking as he looked at himself in the mirror, Riley then put on the hat for the full effect and made his way back to Brigid.
"You are fabulous, did you know that?" he asked as he cupped her cheek and leaned in for a chaste kiss. Looking into her eyes, he smirked. "Come home with me tonight?"
