‘I thought it was going to be the best man,’ said someone two rows behind Keeley. Exactly how far back had her story gone? She turned around, and Keeley said, ‘We’re all together, all the way back to row eighteen. We were taking bets on who it might be.’

‘All of you?’ Audrey turned to look at the group of people behind her and some of them waved.

‘We’re all dancers. We work the clubs,’ said a woman with short blue hair next to Keeley.

‘You and Josh should come down to Pacha if you patch things up,’ Keeley suggested brightly. ‘I can get you on the guest list.’

‘Maybe Josh needs some cooling-off time? Perhaps the plane isn’t the best location for this conversation,’ said Clive thoughtfully.

‘Excuse me,’ came a voice from the plane corridor. It was a man in a leather jacket queuing to use the loo between business class and economy. ‘I couldn’t help but overhear and I’m afraid I’m Team Josh on this one.’

‘Wait, what? Who are you?’ Audrey asked.

‘Oliver Bevan. I’m sitting up there in business and I overheard your little speech, we all did. Have you told your friends back here that you kissed someone else, on your wedding day?’

‘She didn’t kiss someone else, this other bloke kissed her,’ shouted some random man five rows back. ‘Get your facts straight, Oliver Bevan.’

‘Doesn’t sound like she stopped the kiss though, did she?’ said the air hostess, who had now joined in the conversation.

Audrey buried her head in her hands, and Clive gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder.

‘I think you should just leave the poor man alone,’ said a woman with grey hair, wearing dark orange lipstick, who had poked her head through the curtain.

‘Team Audrey! Team Audrey!’ Keeley’s group started chanting.

This was going to be a long flight.
