He liked it just the way it was.

“I need your help. You may not have heard, but Charlie fainted today.”

Some nodded, others looked at him in concern.

“She’s all right but she needs to get some more rest and eat properly. Doc’s grounded her. She’s currently upstairs taking a nap. She’s on bed rest for the next two days at least.”

This time everyone gave a satisfied nod. When a Little was ill, she needed extra coddling and looking after.

“The wedding is in ten days,” Bear spoke up. “You need our help?”

Clint nodded; glad his friend had gotten to the heart of it. He turned the whiteboard around. At the top he’d written:Wedding Shit To Get Done.

Kent groaned at the wording.

“Doc wants Charlie to completely rest, which means no organizing stuff. So it’s all on me.”

“Which means you’re roping us in to help,” Bain said dryly.

“You bet. No need to do everything myself when you’re all sitting around, twiddling your thumbs.”

“I quite enjoy a bit of thumb twiddling,” Archer offered with a grin. “Helps me think.”

“Well, you can twiddle your thumbs as you pick up all the stuff Charlotte needs from in town. She’s got a list.”

“Sure. I like shopping.”

Clint gave Doc a look. Seriously? Archer liked shopping? Doc just shrugged. “He’s weird.”

“Hey. Just because I like to shop does not make me weird.” Archer grabbed the list from Clint, looking it over. “I’m on it.”

“What you want me to do?” Doc asked.

“Check in with the people providing the horse and carriage.” He figured Doc couldn’t alienate them too much. Right?

“Kent, need you to check in with Father Thomas, who is performing the ceremony.”

“Sure,” Kent replied easily.

“Zeke, can you and Eden visit the place we’re having the reception and make sure everything is set?”

Zeke nodded. “Sure can, boss.”

“Bain, you’ve got the florist.”

“I know nothing about flowers.” Bain shot him a dark look.

“Get Ari to help.”

Bain sighed.

“Jed, I’ve got you down for the cake decorator. Make sure she’s all good.”

Jed nodded.

“Bear, need you to help Ellie figure out something else for the bridal shower.” The girls were all supposed to be going into the spa in town but that was off the table now.

He took in a deep breath and looked around at them all. “There’s something else. Charlotte doesn’t think she has any family attending this wedding.”
