you’ve already been introduced.” Maybe I wasn’t the only one to notice his interest, because Myrna was giving Cameron a speculative look as she returned to her seat.
    “Yes. He...welcomed me here at the mansion on my first day at Bridal Visions.” I resisted the urge to scowl, but only barely. What he’d done was make me more flustered and blundering while undercover than I’d been in a long time.
    I wasn’t sure I had enjoyed the feeling.
    Giving my hand one last squeeze, Cameron settled into the empty spot on the couch near Myrna.
    “As Relobu’s second in command, Trian is often out on special projects. And of course, he’s a main participant in this event, so I’m helping to fill in with some of his protection-related duties in the household until after the wedding.
    “If you’ve got the time today, I’d appreciate you taking me with you as you walk the property, so I can get a feel for the specific areas that will be in play. That way, I can make arrangements for the type and number of personnel we’ll be adding for the event, as well as any additional tech we’ll need to get installed. I know we’ve already done cursory background checks on the guest list, but I’d like to look through it again when you have it finalized, just to make sure we avoid inviting our terrorists in through the front door. We’re doing everything possible to make sure Myrna’s wedding is a happy, joyous experience for everyone involved.”
    He smiled, and even Amanda was charmed. “Of course, of course. Anything to make things easier for you.” Amanda was still flying high with euphoria about the idea of having access to Lord Relobu’s entire estate, and the effect on her demeanor was remarkable.
    Myrna smiled. “I’m glad we were able to work something out. I’m assuming there are other things the two of you need from me?”
    Amanda cut a glance in my direction and I ran a quick eye down my scribbled list. “Your gown is ready for final fitting, as are the bridesmaid dresses. We really need to get you and your bridesmaids into the shop as soon as possible, so we’ll have the time we need to make any adjustments to the fit. Tuxedos too.”
    “The girls and I had plans to come by tomorrow evening for the fittings, and the last of the men are scheduled to be back stateside by the end of the week. They should be able to come by then. Will that work?”
    Amanda’s mouth tightened, and I knew she wasn’t happy about delaying the tuxedo fittings any longer, but she swallowed her complaint and nodded. “That will have to do. But if any of the men are available sooner, that would be a big help to all of us.” She signaled for me to continue.
    “Ah...and April wants to meet with you once more on the cake, and we have an updated list of officiants asking to meet with you before you make a formal announcement on who will be leading the service.”
    “Lord Relobu has volunteered to serve as officiant. DRACIM will supply a translator for all non-dragonspeaking guests.”
    I was half afraid Amanda’s excitement was going to propel her straight through the roof. But she just gripped the chair tighter and attempted to smooth her features. “I think that is a very good choice.”
    I scanned the list. “We still need your input on the band playlists, finalization of the menus, and an idea of your preferences for specific photo settings.”
    “Tell April the cake is fine, and I’m holding firm on the smaller size. For everything else, just do what you think is best. My only criteria is that we encourage the mingling of dragons and humans as much as possible. I’ll have my assistant Sara send someone from DRACIM down to work with you on dining requirements.”
    Myrna grinned. “At least moving the event here has solved one big problem. Lord Relobu has offered his stables for dragon dining, so it will be much easier to keep them happy.”
    She glanced at her watch and rose. “I’m sorry, but I need to get back to the
