I Told You! The Sun's A STAR!!

"So," I say, after finishing my fourth portion of cake.

Maybe I'll just have a little bit more...

No! Pay attention to real life, not cake!

"So what?" Jakob asks, clearly noticing me starring at the cake.

He serves me another slice. Good husband-to-be.

"So why did we come here? Other than to eat cake," I manage through bites.

Jakob chuckles softly and wipes a bit of icing off my nose.

Romantic much?

"I came to give Chaton here the first official invitation to our wedding," he says and hands his brother a pale pink envelope with his name in gold on it.

My mouth drops open.

How could I have forgotten the guests??

Jakob chuckles again, reading my thoughts. "It's okay, the guest list has been finalised and everyone who should be on there is on there. Don't worry, I checked."

I trust that he would make sure everyone was invited, even my sister.

Luan and her stupid rules on weddings.

"Is the sun a star?" Chaton asks.

Wha- how- where did that come from?

"Yes, I think it is," Jak says, nodding thoughtfully.

(Jak is my new nickname for Jakob!!)

"I don't think it is cos stars are all twinkly and stuff," he replies, sipping from a cup that contains god knows what.

"No but- ugh I don't have time for this. I'm just going to look it up," Jak says, pulling out his phone.

There's a pause as he types the question in. 

"HAH!" He yells and jumps up, pointing one finger in the air.

He lowers his hand and uses it to point at Chaton and reads, "Yes, the sun is a star. There are lots of stars in the universe, but the sun is the one closest to Earth, and it's the only one in our solar system. It is the centre of our solar system."

He locks his phone and looks up.

"I told you! The sun's a star," he looks triumphant.

I hold my hand up, "Wait a second, why are we talking about this?"

They both look at each other and then burst out laughing.

"Chaton's autistic, so some times he has trouble communicating. Basically he just says whatever he's thinking and dips in and out of paying attention to the conversation. It'll also why the carpet's so fluffy because rough surfaces trigger him," Jak explains. 

I nod my head, processing all the information.

"WAIT!" I say, standing up and slamming my hands on the table. "Where's Chole???"
