Natalie promised to start work on the wedding dress design, and to meet with Jazzy and Cheryl for more wedding plans. The wedding was in the spring, so there would be time. Tanner had business in London, and within days of the engagement dinner, Natalie was flying into Heathrow airport with him. His limo service took them to the Athenaeum, a smaller hotel. Tanner preferred the intimacy; it was more like home. Their room overlooked London with a view of Green Park which was one of the four Royal parks, and Buckingham Palace. It was a short walk to the shops and West End theaters. One of the first things, Tanner did, was take Natalie for a stroll through Green Park, with his hired bodyguards at an unobtrusive distance behind. For Natalie, they tended to blend into the background. She’d gotten used to them. Green Park’s thick-trunked, mature trees towered over the walking paths.
