The Perk; Wednesday Afternoon [ 07/01 ].

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

It was already July. How was it already July? JULY! So not only did Charlotte have another horrible birthday looming on the horizon, but this gave her so not enough time to really pull this wedding together. Still, Charlotte was determined. Wanting to get out of the apartment to better focus, Charlotte was set up at a table at the Perk, with her laptop and her cell phone and a bunch of other things, hard at work and multitasking, refined to an art over the ears.

And coffee. A lot of, lot of coffee. She had to schedule something for a photo with Dale for an announcement before the invitations went out, she needed to decide on a caterer, arrange for a dress fitting with Anthony, arrange for a dress approving session with the girls because she couldn't exactly leave them entirely to their own devises, and then there was possibly a non-wedding related thing to deal with with trying to decide if she wanted to squeeze in one special showing at the gallery before the big event, just because.

Work, work, work! But she loved it, and she considered herself interruptable, too. Always time to talk to other people.

Tully came in with the idea of getting a few mochas to go. He was also getting fairly proficient at using only one crutch, which helped with having a hand free.

But limping from the lighthouse to here had taken it's toll, so he decided to sit down for a bit and see who might be about. He sank into a chair not far from Charlotte.

"Time for a break?" asked Charlotte, the work having actually left her in a fairly bright and contented mood, as she spotted Tully sinking into the chair.

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely." Tully smiled at her. "You're...York right? You run the art gallery?"

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Charlotte," she confirmed with a nod, especially since she was only going to be just York for about a month now, eeee. "And that's right. I'm sorry, I don't think I remember you name right now, but my head's probably just too full of stuff right now. I recognize you, though."

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"Tully Mars. What's your head full of if I may ask?"

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Like Charlotte needed any more prompting than that.

"Wedding stuff," she said, her face instantly lighting up with a happy smile. "In a week, it'll only be a month!"

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"Your wedding or a friend's?"

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Mine!" You wouldn't think she could get happier or brighter than she already was, but Charlotte still managed to surpass herself. "This August! Everyone's invited!"

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

Tully chuckled. "I'll make sure I'm free. Was there an announcement that I missed? I haven't been paying enough attention to local gossip I admit."

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no, no, no," Charlotte assured him. "The invitations haven't gone out yet. I've got to schedule a photoshoot for our announcement in the Times first. The announcement loses some of its excitement if it's made after the invitations arrive, you know."

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Tully conceded. Like he knew anything about marriage. "Who's the lucky guy?"

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Dale Cooper," Charlotte said with a nod. "He's the sheriff here. If you haven't met him, you should, because he's a very upstanding gentleman and very handsome."

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"I may have met him in passing. But the only law I've gotten to know is Daisy."

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Daisy's nice," said Charlotte. "I haven't met her except for once, but Dale tells me she's very hardworking."

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"I've noticed that myself." Tully said. "So Dale's the officer in charge?"

Irulan needed coffee and decided to take a little break from her shop. She entered and bought her coffee and was about to leave when she saw Charlotte.

"Good afternoon, Charlotte," she greeted.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Irulan!" Charlotte greeted the other woman with a bright smile. "Hello! How are you?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"I'm wonderful if a little tired," Irulan perused her table and smiled. "You look busy."

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Charlotte laughed a little. "In just a week, Irulan, the wedding is only a month away! There is so much to do!"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan laughed, amused by Charlotte's excitement. "Time does seem to fly! And you look quite happy!"

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Well, of course! I'm planning my wedding to the most amazing man ever; how could I not be excited?"

Charlotte simply did not believe in toning certain things down, really.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"I'm very happy for you, I still have meet your amazing man but I believe you." She sipped her coffee before adding, "If you need any help with the wedding I will be glad to help."

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying to schedule a photoshoot for our official announcement," Charlotte said with a smile. "It has to be really nice, so they'll run the picture."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, then I look forward to seeing your official announcement!"
