He smiled, and while he waited to speak, the servant took a huge champagne bottle in.

“Happy anniversary, Seth and Leah. Yes, we didn’t forget that.” he smiled.

I said, but my mum looked at me in disbelief,

Sloane said, and that just made mum angry a little.

I had a secret look at Alice, but she was motionless, just like since we arrived. She didn’t care where she was going to sleep.
