Immie, Chas and I watch in silence as she stamps towards Chas’s 4x4.

‘Let’s do the tea another time,’ I suggest, trying to smooth things over.

Chas blows. ‘Phew, I’m sorry, you’ll have to excuse Nic, she’s under a lot of pressure.’ He swipes his fingers across his brow. ‘She’s a beautiful person, but sometimes she sees things completely differently from everyone else I know.’

Immie gives Chas a friendly pat on the back. ‘Don’t worry, she’ll be fine when it’s all over, weddings are well known for making sensible people wappy,’ she says, reassuringly. She sends me a secret grin from somewhere behind his shoulder. ‘It could be a lot worse. Our best friend’s just ordered a complete fairground for her Daisy Hill wedding, imagine that.’

I can’t help shrieking. ‘Cate’s done what?’ Surely she hasn’t.

‘Yep, she rang this morning.’ Immie gives a shrug. ‘Helter skelter, big wheel, roundabouts, the lot.’

I shake my head. ‘Crazy.’ I wonder if she’s told Liam yet. I have an inkling that this may finally send Cate’s long suffering and sensible husband-to-be over the edge.

‘Completely mad.’ Immie agrees.

Chas frowns. ‘There isn’t much danger of a fairground, a helter skelter wouldn’t be Nic’s thing at all, she hates heights. We met on a St Aidan Singles walk when she had a panic attack on the bridge across the creek going into Padstowe.’

‘But that bridge isn’t high,’ Immie points out, with a dismissive nose wrinkle she really shouldn’t be using with clients.

‘I know, but that’s exactly why I’m such a lucky guy,’ Chas says happily. ‘Talking Nic onto dry land that day was the best thing to happen to me in ages.’ As the slamming of his distant car door echoes between the buildings, he gives a grimace, and hurriedly holds out his hand to say goodbye. ‘I’d better go, but thanks for today, it went better than I expected. I’ll chat to Nic and be in touch.’
