I grinned as I followed her into the house, let the madness begin.

Back at Andy’s camp:-

————————Bette———————–

I found Andy pacing in my office once she had dressed and showered but she didn’t seem any calmer. I turned to leave her to her own thoughts when she noticed me and asked me to leave. She was wearing a look of sheer panic and resignation.

She went over what had happened on Thursday night when she had had us all lighting candles in her backyard for an hour so she could surprise Rachel and after rambling for a while came to the reason she was so stressed out.

“I tried, I mean I wrote it all out first so I knew what I wanted to say and in the end I came out with some crap about wishing and not wishing that made no sense whatsoever. I mean if I can’t tell her how I feel in a private setting what the hell am I going to say in my vows? How the hell is she ever going to know that I love her more than the air I breath if every time I try and tell her I end up babbling like a fool? I mean I am a well educated, articulate woman and I just can’t do it, I will cock up and ruin this I just know it.”

I handed her some more coffee and motioned for her to sit, it was amazing it was almost the exact same thing I had said before my wedding. Luckily I had Kit and Shane to calm me down so I did know the right thing to say.

“Look Andy I am sure that what you told her that night made all the sense in the world to her, that’s the point you are marrying the person in the world who truly understands you. And as for the vows if they mean something to you and her then that is all that matters the rest of us do not need to understand those words are spoken between your hearts and are not meant for anyone else. She loves you and no-one else and you her and as such I am sure the words will come tat will eloquently and truly communicate that from your heart to hers.”

She gave me a sloe eyed look of gratitude before moving to leave the room. I knew she was back to some semblance of herself when as I tried to stop her and run through what we needed to do she virtually knocked me over as she swung round to reply.

“I am going back to bed, you lot can sort it all out I am refusing to move until you let me see Rachel. It’s your own fault I feel like shit because of you and your family rituals, and what I am sure was Alice’s plan to get us plastered. So you should all just do what needs to be done and leave me the hell alone.”

I chuckled at her retreating back and went to make sure all was going smoothly.
