“Are
you going to stand there all night, or are you going to let me out?”
Corinne called while tapping lightly on the glass behind him.
Ledger
pushed his worries to the back of his mind and reluctantly
straightened from the side of the car. Despite his new worry about
Cedric catching up with them, he couldn’t drive any farther
tonight. After a few hours of sleep, he’d be refreshed, and they
could pick up the trail bright and early in the morning.
He
turned to open the door and helped Corinne straighten from the seat.
Stretching her arms above her head, Corinne breathed, “Hmm…I
think that’s the longest car ride I’ve ever had. What are our
room numbers?”
“Two-thirteen.
We’re leaving early in the morning again, so what do you need me to
carry in for you? The less we take in now, the less we’ll have to
bring back out in the morning.” Ledger turned from Corinne and
headed toward the trunk without glancing back.
“What
do you mean we’re in two-thirteen? You only got one room?”
“Yeah.
Don’t worry, there are two beds. We won’t be here for more than a
few hours, anyway. As soon as I’ve caught some sleep, we’ll be
back on the road again.”
“I’m
not sharing a room with you! What if I snore? You’ve been up since
who knows when; I’d hate to keep you awake!” Corinne grabbed her
phone out of the cup holder and slammed the door.
“You
snore? I never would have guessed. Don’t worry, I’ll sleep
through it.”
“I
don’t snore.”
“Sure.”
He snorted. She was so fun to tease.
“I
said what
if I
snore, not that I do snore. Anyway, that’s beside the point. You
need to go get another room.” Corinne followed him to the trunk of
the car and stood with her hands on her hips.
She
was close enough that his keen hearing picked up the elevation in her
heart rate, and the blush starting at the base of her throat beckoned
him. She did want two rooms, but it appeared that the thought of
sharing a room excited her in spite of herself.
“Sorry,
princess. One room. I’m going up to get some sleep. You can stay
here with the car if you really want to. I’ll be back in about six
hours.”
