CHAPTER EIGHT

WHAT A DIFFERENCE a week made. As she flew through the air on the way to Milan, Lindsay thought about all she’d accomplished since her last flight in the helicopter. She had her wedding board up and she’d made contact with all the local vendors she’d lined up before coming to Halencia, confirming plans and reevaluating as necessary.

She’d talked to the landscapers and she had an appointment at the end of the week to meet at the palazzo to go over her needs for the wedding and reception. On the mayor’s recommendation, Zach had hired a crew to clean up the palazzo and chapel grounds. They should be well done by the time she met with the landscapers.

Yesterday she’d hired an assistant. Serena was twenty-two, fresh out of university and eager to assist in any way she could with the royal wedding. Lindsay worried a little over the girl’s age, knowing she’d have to be strong enough to say no to outrageous offers for inside information about the wedding, and mature enough to know when she was being played. But Serena was Mayor Alonso’s daughter and she had his glib tongue and a no-nonsense attitude that convinced Lindsay she could handle the job.

Plus, she just plain liked the young woman.

She’d gone a little googly-eyed over Zach but, seriously, who wouldn’t? It was a fact of life she’d have to put up with.

“We are coming up on Milano,” the pilot announced.

Lindsay leaned forward to get a view of the northern city. Two prominent pieces of architecture caught the eye. A very modern building of glass and metal that twisted well into the air and an ancient cathedral dramatically topped with a forest of spires. Both buildings were stunningly impressive.

She glanced at Zach and found his gaze on her. Smiling, she gestured at the view. “It’s spectacular.”

“It is, indeed,” he agreed without looking away from her.

She turned her attention back to the view, pretending his focus on her didn’t send the blood rushing through her veins.

He’d kept to his promise not to touch her. Well, mostly. He didn’t play with her hair or take her hand, but he stayed bumping-elbows close wherever they went. And he still liked to put his hand in the small of her back whenever he directed her into or out of a building or room.

Serena had asked if they were together, so Lindsay knew the townspeople were speculating about their relationship. She’d given Serena a firm no in response and hoped the word got out about the true state of things.

They landed at a heliport on a mid-rise building not far from the Duomo di Milano. Downstairs a car was waiting to take them to a shop along Via Monte Napoleone. Lindsay checked her tablet to give Zach the address.

She looked forward to handing the dress over to Christina and the queen’s seamstress. Providing security for the gown had proved more stressful than she’d anticipated. Having it off her shoulders would allow her to focus on the many other elements of the wedding demanding her attention.
