What?! Why would I be allergic to marriage?!

I don't know. Have you pissed him off lately? Pat gets this Nurse Look happening when I piss him off sometimes. I'm sure he contemplates smacking me some days.

Because you've been throwing up since you got hitched.

We had a fight painting the bar the other day. Pretty sure I pissed him off then. I accused him of being Mr Grumpy Pants. He's just... he doesn't talk about the wedding, you know? Makes me wonder sometimes...

Not constantly. Just certain times of the day. And that's just a... thing... or something.

A wedding's a big thing. You're standing up and saying you're going to be with someone for the rest of your life. Maybe he's just trying to get his head around it all.

Certain times? That's... weird.

I guess. I don't know. Anyway, I haven't talk to him about it for a while. I'd rather just be getting on with Luke the days before our wedding, you know? I'm still really happy for you and Pat, A.

It's the flu.

Well, to play the Devil's Advocate here, and totally coming off as a hypocrite consiering my own situation, but it was a quick transition for you guys from engagement to marriage. Maybe he's just trying to catch up with everything in his head.

A flu that has a timer?

I would have given him more time, but Riley wants to start the IVF with Evie, and we wanted a twin wedding... I wanted more time too, but this is how I need to do it. We need to do it. He was the one that said we should... I don't know. I just... I don't know.

It might. Things like, you know, food, makes it worse.

Kind of sounds like Luke's maybe drawing the short straw in the whole bride, groom, twin wedding consideration stakes. If you need it, he'll do it for you no questions asked, but it's still a lot to absorb in a short time. It's stressful. Even the most placid person can get snappy when they're stressed.

Have you seen a doctor?

I didn't make him! I asked, and he agreed. I wouldn't have... I mean, I know I can be pushy, but he could have said no. I want him happy, that's all. I didn't mean for him to get the short straw.

Many. I think Pat brings a new one every day.

I didn't say that you did. I'm just trying to help you see why he might be acting strangely. I'm also saying that it's not necessarily a bad thing if he is acting odd on account of the fact getting married is a huge thing.

And they haven't helped you?

Yeah, I guess. Maybe me trying to read so much into it is me acting weird because of the marriage thing. I still can't believe I'm at this point, you know?

I'm usually feeling fine when they come.

Yeah, I do know. Trust me, I know really well. But I also knew really well that I wanted it by the time came. To think about it now, though, I might well have freaked out as a big wedding drew near if we went that route.

So... is it some kind of addiction to being nursed by your husband? Funny timing with the feeling fine thing. Do you hate doctors?

I think big weddings have that effect, but this isn't really a big wedding. Pat's just making sure it doesn't look like us in garbage bags with a keg.

I don't like being told I'm sick, but I don't hate doctors. And that's the thing. Pat's been busy. I'm mostly been on my own the last couple of days.

It's still an anticipated wedding and it's a twin wedding. It's a big wedding by default. It doesn't have to be splashy and flashy to be big.

Except when you came and threw up over Luke's car. Do you need anything? Sucks being sick alone.

So it's a meaning thing, and not a size thing. Got it.

He said he needed help! I was going to help. I think I'm okay. Just tired. Maybe kinda nervous, too. Pat's brother arrives for your wedding in the next few days. We haven't told him yet.

Tab, take it from someone who's learnt the lesson recently. Getting married is one of the biggest things you'll do in your life. Ever.

The brother that Harri shagged? And you can't help when you're sick, that's the point! We have to help you when you're sick. You haven't told him? Wow...

Well, I did manage to work out it would be kinda significant.

Yeah, that brother. You know, his twin. The one that has been calling almost every day because he gets the feeling something is wrong with Pat. Pat's sending off the wrong twin voodoo vibes. It's unnverving. Pat wanted to tell him in person.

There's no 'kinda' about it.

Yikes... See, Pat could just say "there's something I need to tell you, but it has to be in person"... But I guess that would still set off alarms.

Do you think I'll make a good wife?

What would you do if Riley said that to you?

Why wouldn't you? It's not about being a wife, it's about being an equal half.

Come see Riley as soon as possible because I wouldn't be able to stand waiting.

I think we are equal halves... except with the twin thing. But he gets that.

Exactly. And the guy can't exactly just jump in a car and land on our doorstep. He'll probably panic and then Pat will panic and then I'll panic and it will all be one big explosion that somehow needs to end with Pat telling his identical twin that he got married without telling him.

Then just chill. If it feels right, it is right. Just don't begrudge him some weird behaviour. It's just nerves.
