Wayo POV

"Say, ahh Yo."

Did he forget where we are and we had company? When he carries on trying to feed me, I eat the offered cake.

"...it's too sweet."

"You love sweet things."

I used to because you brought them for me, but it had been a long time since I ate them.

"Aren't you going to try any of them?"

The table was full of over 30 cake slices but he kept feeding me.

"If you like it, I will too." He smiles. "Try this one."

Before he can offer me anymore his phone rings, he talks to the doctor on the other end for a few minutes.

"Emergency case Yo." He stands. "Choose any cake you want."

He kisses me, turns to leave then back again before kissing me and leaving. I can hear whispering from the others around. It should have been a private appointment but when we arrived, they had double booked, Pha didn't mind, we came to find a cake, why did it matter others were doing the same?

He smiled at the old lady and her grandson; I think it made him remember his grandmother when the lady laughed. I know he listened into their conversation, chuckling a few times the lady made remarks.

"At least he still has his mother to help him choose."

"Gran, did you take a picture?"

"They are cute, the one who left is very handsome." She puts her phone away. "Unlike the one you're marrying."

"Gran..."

"I know you're doing it to make your father happy. I have an idiot son." She tuts. "What happened to the other one?"

"What other one?"

"The vet you were seeing in university." She makes faces as she tries a slice before spitting it out and moving it away. "He suited you more."

The young man looks down, I saw the pain before he could hide it. It makes me feel sorry for him, now Pha was back, the world had voices and I could hear them.

"I was careless, I'm sorry." She takes his hand. "But Rome, you were actually happy with him, you're only pretending right now."

The boy excuses himself, the lady sighs before pulling out her phone. "I'm calling in my favour."

I hope they help.

"Try this dear." P'Poppy pushes a plate towards me. "It's not too sweet."

I try, it was perfect. The lady's words came back to me, I see P'Poppy checking details, she had taken care of me so long, in a way she was. I loved and missed my mother and would always but with P'Poppy around it felt I had more than one. I had been very lucky with my family.

"I like this one." I tell P'Poppy. "I think that's nearly everything done?"

"Yes." She checks the list. "The cards are here; I need you to finalise the guest list so I can tell the caters."

"Thank you for taking care of everything."

"It makes me happy to see you like this." She smiles looking up at me.

"Thank you." I tell her. "For the rings too."

SW were her initials, I forgot sometimes because we always use the nicknames instead of our full ones. My mothers' initials had also been SW and there was also Her, the Soul Witch, a coincident maybe?
