“Her Ladyship is most happy with you.” Gus sat down at my breakfast bar and moved the cereal I’d just poured myself to in front of him and started to eat it.

He’d just come off a shift and had stopped by on the way home to pick up a parcel that had been delivered to mine for Vivi’s upcoming birthday. Picking up a parcel obviously involved eating my breakfast too.

“What deed have I done to earn her rare approval?” I got another bowl out and poured more cereal.

“Found a woman she approves of. I think that’s pretty much an impossible feat. Me, Viv and the kids went over at the weekend and she was telling us all about Imogen. When are you introducing her to us?” Gus had never learned not to speak with his mouth full, and it was just as unpleasant a sight now as it had been when he was a kid.

“After she’s said ‘I do’.” I looked up from my breakfast. “Seriously, I know exactly what you and Robbie are like.”

Gus laughed, although he’d thankfully swallowed first. “How’s the wedding prep?”

I nodded. “A lot easier this time round. Imogen’s nothing like Carla, thank god. I couldn’t have gone through that again. We each have a list of things to do, and every couple of days we go through exactly where we’re up to.” It meant I could take the bulk of the big arrangements and work with the wedding planner, just using Imogen’s ideas on colours. She didn’t have time to go into the tiny details as she was bang in the middle of a case at work, which was fine, because I did have the time.

“Flowers, food, decorations – all sorted?” Gus narrowed his eyes at me.

“All done. The only things to sort now are her dress and the bridesmaids, pretty much. I think she’s chosen one, it’s just the fittings.”

“Invites sent?”

“All done. Helps to have people who can chase the RSVPs.”

“Not received my invite…” Gus poured himself more cereal, finishing the box.

I picked the box up and put it in the recycling bin. “Must’ve gotten lost in the post. That’s a shame.”

“Seriously, I’ve not had an invite.”

“You’ve not got one. I’m not inviting you.” I managed to keep my face straight as Gus’ expression looked genuinely shocked and then hurt. “Immy wants a classy do, and that definitely means you’re not invited.”

“Me and Vivi are the epitome of class. We’d have to leave the screaming banshees at home, but they’ll survive without us for a couple of days.” Gus tipped the remaining milk on the last of that cereal.

“Oh, Vivi’s invited. It’s just you off the guest list. And Robbie.” This was a gamble. Robbie had his invite, and had RSVP’d with the text ‘fucking too right I’m there’, because Lady S’ class had definitely been watered down for this generation.

I sat down opposite my eldest brother and enjoyed his irritation.

“If I’m not there, you’ll be the centre of society gossip for weeks.”

“That’s the plan.
