Mum heaved a tipsy sigh. ‘That’s true. It’s a pity we’re not Catholic, like Nate, otherwise he and Chloë could have had a Nuptial Mass – they’re rather beautiful; but we’ll definitely have those little bags of sugared almonds and I do want Chloë and Nate to smash a glass.’
I had another sip of wine. ‘What’s that about?’
‘During the reception, the bride and groom smash a glass,’ Honey explained. ‘The number of fragments denotes the number of years that they’ll be happily married – like in a Jewish wedding.’
‘That’s right,’ said Mum, as Chloë now joined us. ‘Hello, darling.’ Chloë sat down next to her. ‘We’re talking about the wedding, and I was just saying that I want you and Nate to smash a glass. I’ve also been wondering about confessi.’
‘Confessi?’ Chloë smiled. ‘What have you got to confess, Mum? Come on – out with it!’
‘Confetti,’ Mum corrected herself with a laugh. ‘I’m trying to make up my mind between delphinium petals and hydrangea – not an easy decision.’
Honey, clearly bored with the minutiae of the wedding preparations, was reminiscing about Nate. ‘He had this dog, Chopsy,’ she said to James. ‘He was one ugly little mutt, but Nate adored him.’
‘He wasn’t ugly,’ I protested. ‘He looked very sweet. And he wasn’t a mutt – he was a pedigree Border terrier.’
‘Really?’ said Honey. ‘Actually… you’re right. I’d completely forgotten.’ She gave a bewildered laugh. ‘But how would you know what Nate’s dog looked like?’
My heart stopped. I could hardly admit that I’d snooped in Nate’s bedroom. ‘Nate described him to me,’ I replied truthfully. ‘I have a vivid image of him.’
