Angie sat in her room at the wedding hotel feeling like she was about to be sick. She had no idea what Matt must have thought about her behaviour. One minute they were dancing, the next she was asking him questions about his past. She sighed heavily, knowing why she was so upset with herself. Everything had been going so well. The agency was doing well, Zoe had managed not to break anything in the office, her mom was not being a complete nightmare and her and Matt were closer than ever but she had to ruin everything. She lay back on the bed, trying not to overthink everything. Her head was spinning as she closed her eyes.
"Ang?" She groaned quietly as she heard her name. The door opened slightly as she lifted her head.
"Danica?"
"You ok?"
"Sorry." Angie got herself to a sitting position. "Shouldn't you be with your beautiful new bride?"
Danica smiled as she stepped in the room. "I saw you leave. You looked upset."
"I'm fine." Angie smiled.
"You and Shade argue?"
"No." Angie paused. "Why would you think that?"
"I saw you dance together, then you walked off looking upset."
Angie sighed heavily. The detective sat on the bed next to her. Danica looked amazing, every inch the blushing bride.
"You should be with Kate. Not here. I'm fine."
"Promise?"
"Danica."
"I just want everyone to be happy." She smiled as Angie watched her.
"I know. Just enjoy your wedding party. I am fine. Matt and I are fine. I just felt a little tired, that's all. What with chasing injured pilots, fake ministers." She smiled slightly. "Go."
"Are you sure? Do you want me to get Zoe? Matt?"
"No." Angie smiled. "No, honestly. I am all good here. I just need to get some sleep." Danica hugged her for a moment before heading to the door.
"Angie?"
"Yeah."
"You can tell him, you know? Matt, I mean. You can tell him." She watched as Angie stared at her for a moment. "Whatever it is. You can tell him." She slipped out of the room as Angie was left alone.

Matt stared at the half empty glass of wine on the table. He had never really been a big fan of alcohol but he had to admit that the girls had chosen some really beautiful wine. He frowned slightly as he looked at the wine glass next to his. It was half full of orange juice. It was then he realised Angie hadn't been drinking alcohol for the entire trip.
"Matt?"
He looked up as Kate sat next to him.
"Hi."
"You know, I just wanted to say thankyou."
"What for?" He looked a little shocked by the appearance of one of the brides.
"Helping Danica and I save the wedding." She smiled. "You know, she loves you and Angie so much. After everything with Maz leaving and you the whole nightmare of the storm. We wouldn't have got here today without you and Angie." She squeezed his hand.
"I'm just glad you both got the wedding you wanted."
"We did." Kate smiled. "Look, its not my place to say." She looked away for a moment. "Talk to Angie."
He tilted his head slightly. "Why? Has she said something?"
"Not to me." Kate sighed. "Talk to her. Just ask. Sometimes its easier to open up when someone asks you directly."
He nodded as Kate stood up. "Now, I am going to find my wife." She beamed. "Wife. That sounds so." She shrugged.
"Go." Matt ushered her away wondering what was wrong with Angie. He knew there was something he had missed, he just had no idea what.
