surprise and sat back in his chair. “The actress Trinie?” he smiled with amazement. “We've seen plenty of wealthy people at the inn, but this is our first real super star. Just think of the publicity from that!”
    “ Not to mention Seth,” Mitchell piped up and shook his head. “If only I could play tennis like that guy I might actually be able to beat the sheriff in one of our matches,” he chuckled as he lowered his eyes with defeat. “That man has a mean swing.” 
    “ Oh well, Vicky is very good at tennis,” Sarah said quickly as she added another piece of bread to Ethan's plate. He was not interested in the ravioli but he was enjoying the bread. “You should let her teach you sometime on the court at the inn,” Sarah added as she met Vicky's eyes across the table. Vicky locked eyes with her sister and tried not to glare.
    “ I didn't know you could play tennis,” Mitchell said with surprise as he looked at her. “I'd like that, if you would teach me sometime,” he looked at her eagerly.
    “ I'm not that great,” Vicky said humbly and shot a scowl at her sister before she looked at Mitchell. “But if it means taking down the sheriff, I'm all for it.”
    Mitchell laughed and took a sip of his wine. “All right then,” he agreed. “Maybe after the big wedding is over.”
    “ Vicky is in charge of the whole thing,” Sarah bragged openly. “From the cake, to the music, the dresses, everything!” Vicky felt a bit like she was being marketed, and though she knew her sister was doing it out of love it was beginning to annoy her.
    “ Do you think she can...” Phil started to ask, and Sarah swatted his shoulder to quiet him down. He cleared his throat as he realized his mistake. Vicky frowned as she looked down at her plate.
    “ She'll do fantastic,” Mitchell said with confidence and gave her hand another squeeze under the table. “But if you need me for any reason, guests gone wild, or homicidal doves, feel free to call me, okay?” he met her eyes to make sure she understood he meant it.
    “ Yes,” she nodded slightly, and grinned at the idea of doves attacking. “I'll keep you on speed dial,” she assured him.
    “ I still can't believe it's really happening,” Sarah admitted. “I remember watching Trinie when I was a kid on that Complete Teen show.”
    “ Me too,” Vicky grinned and the two sisters spoke at the same time. “Don't look in a magazine, get up to date with Complete Teen!”
    Phil and Mitchell exchanged slightly horrified glances as the two women dissolved into giggles.
    “ I remember Trinie from when she was a little bit older,” Phil said casually. “That movie, about the fountain.”
    “ Oh really,” Sarah cleared her throat and smiled at him. “What part do you remember?”
    “ Well uh, the fountain,” he replied with a light smile.
    “ Mmhm, what was the movie about Phil?” she asked, teasing him.
    “ Something about a fountain, all I know is she ended up splashing in it!”
    “ Oh, that was her?” Mitchell said with surprise. “I didn't realize that!”
    “ You two are terrible,” Vicky laughed. “Don't forget about Seth. I've never seen a man look so good in tennis whites,” she winked at Sarah.
    “ Oh, but we haven't played tennis yet,” Mitchell pointed out with a sly smile.
    “ Good point,” Vicky laughed and finally began to relax as they shared their meal.
    “ So, what am I in for?” she asked Sarah. “Swans? Tigers? A parade?”
    “ No nothing like that,” Sarah shook her head. “She did ask for pink roses, and she likes the idea of silver and white for the color scheme. Oh and musicians, she wants live music.”
    “ Well, that's not too bad,” Vicky said with surprise. “It sounds pretty simple.”
    “The place is going to be crawling with security,” Sarah sighed. “It's almost impossible to keep something like this secret, so we're going to have to plan for lots of press showing up and trying to disrupt the
