TABLE TWELVE
BY ALISTAIR BALDWIN AND MADELEINE LITTLE
AJ and Bea’s wedding is finally here! They’ve bonded over their shared love of camembert, The Sopranos, and their disabled siblings Chris and Sami. Both families would love to see Chris and Sami get together, and think they’d make an ‘inspirational’ couple. But Chris and Sami resent the assumption that they are perfect for each other just because they’re both disabled… which is exactly why they have to keep their wedding night rendezvous a secret, even if it means denying something real just to prove a point.
