I don't own anything. This is a AU story.
"You need to keep November 12th free", Sarah Barnaby told her husband, John, over the breakfast table.
He looked at her, "Why?"
"I got a call from Kate last night", Sarah told her husband. "Her and Charlie have set a date for the wedding".
John smiled, "November the 12th".
"They want to get married here", Sarah informed him. "They met here".
"I was there", John replied, dryly.
Sarah ignored her husband's sarcasm. "They asked if Betty wanted to be a flower girl", she told him. "I think that she would like that".
"I think that she would, too", he agreed.
Sarah smiled, "It will be nice to see them again".
He frowned, "I'll have to go to the wedding, won't I?"
Sarah took a bite of her toast. "Yes, you will".
"With a bit of luck, someone will get killed on that day", John muttered. "It happens every other day".
Sarah looked at him. "We are both going to the wedding", she told him, in a firm tone. "Other wise, the death they are investigating will be yours if you miss our daughter being a flower girl".
John knew he had no choice but to go to the wedding. "I can't wait", he replied, knowing he had been defeated.
