Five Minutes Before My Wedding, My Daughter Asked Me to Look Inside Her Bunny. The Secret Changed Everything.

I asked what made her wonder.

‘Because you cried in the car,’ she said.

‘And Grandma said weddings are very expensive.’

I was startled by how much she had overheard.

I told her that I had cried because I was sad about the relationship, and that grown-up decisions about money were my responsibility.

‘You can tell me if you’re scared,’ I said.
