“Lucien, thank goodness,” I said into the phone when he answered. Pyper and I were sitting in her car, parked in front of the bakery Kat had sent us to. But we hadn’t gone in because we still didn’t know what we were approving. “Listen, Kat has us running some errands for the bridal shower. Do you have any idea what she ordered at the bakery? Or what the theme is supposed to be?”

“Um, no. Should I?” He sounded vaguely distracted.

“Lucien, focus. We’re already in trouble here after missing lunch. Kat’s a little bit hurt, and if we get this wrong—”

“Oh, I know. The sixties. That’s the theme. She said something about daisies and sunflowers and lots of pink, orange, and yellow.”

“Sixties? Really?” It sounded cute, but Kat was usually a little more modern than that in her ideas.

“Yep. She said she wanted to have fun with it.”

“All right then. Now that we have that out of the way, I have something for you. Can you research a breeder out in the bayou by the name of Elijah? He breeds familiars. I don’t have a last name, but I do have an address and a phone number.”

“Sure. Does this have something to do with that fire-breathing dog?” he asked.

“Yes and no. He just seems to know quite a bit about the council, and I want to know who exactly we’re dealing with. I think he might be an ally, but we just can’t be too careful.”

“I’m on it.”

I rattled off the information and said, “By the way, you and Kat are coming to dinner tonight. I hope you didn’t have plans.”

“Nope. Whatever Kat wants these next few weeks, Kat gets,” he said with a chuckle.

“Is she still being a bridezilla?” I asked with a grimace.

“No. Not at all. It’s more like she’s anxious. I’m not sure if it’s because the day is finally almost here and she’s experiencing a version of cold feet or if all the planning is getting to her. She’s been focused on this wedding and little else for months. Whatever it is, we’ve made it this far. I’m sure we can handle the next two weeks.”

“Damn,” I said softly. “I’m sorry, Lucien. I had no idea. She seems perfectly normal every time I see her. Busy and a little overloaded, but…” I paused, thinking back over the past month and the time I’d spent with Kat. It hadn’t been a lot if I was honest with myself. Ever since she and Lucien had gotten engaged, she’d dragged Pyper and me all over the city to every bridal shop, bakery, and party store she could find. While Pyper had been decisive in her choices, Kat hadn’t, and the strain of her indecision had worn me down. I’d begged off most things lately, using my pregnancy as an excuse. Now I was starting to wonder if my friend felt completely abandoned. “You know what? It’s been a few weeks since Kat and I have had any time together. I’ll talk to her tonight and find out what’s up.
