Stacey was adding the finishing touches to the finger buffet. The church service was at ten, and then everyone they knew had been invited to the christening party in Tommy’s parents’ back garden.

With her hair in rollers, Stacey had had to slap Tommy’s hand away from the buffet on more than one occasion. ‘Leave it out,’ she scolded. ‘There’ll be nothing left for the guests at this rate.’

Laughing, Tommy swept his gaze across the table laden with food. ‘Stace, you’ve got enough here to feed hundreds of people. One sausage roll isn’t going to hurt, is it?’

Despite her stern expression, Stacey couldn’t help but laugh along. Tommy was right. There was more than enough food to go around. ‘I just want everything to be perfect, that’s all.’

‘And it will be, so stop worrying.’ He pulled her into his arms. ‘Well, Mrs Carter, you’d best get yourself ready. It’s nearly time to leave.’

Patting the rollers in her hair, Stacey gasped. ‘I forgot I had these in. Give me five minutes to take them out, and then we can leave.’

Tommy rolled his eyes towards Jimmy. ‘Women, bruv. Which reminds me, Gary’s bringing his little bird along today.’ He popped a sausage roll into his mouth and chewed on it before swallowing. ‘Look at him, he looks like he’s shitting bricks.’

Jimmy looked across to Gary and began to laugh. Their younger brother looked as though he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. ‘She probably looks like Quasimodo, that’s why he’s shitting it. Why else has no one even met her yet? He hasn’t even told us her name.’

‘True, bruv. Hey, Gary! What’s your girlfriend’s name?’ Tommy called out.

Ignoring the question, Gary wandered back into the house, leaving his two elder brothers to laugh even harder. ‘Fucking hell. Young love, eh?’
