Chapter 4
“I’m sorry, sir, there was an overbooking and a room won’t open up for a few days. We’re happy to transfer you to another hotel in a comparable room.”
Brett opened his mouth but Rylan gripping his arm silenced him. “Share my room,” Rylan said. He looked at the woman behind the desk. “He can do that, right?”
She raised her eyebrows and nodded.
“I—” Brett began.
“Please. I’d like the company,” Rylan said softly. “Rylan Hennessy, room 1008.” He swallowed and looked away. “I haven’t slept.”
“I know the feeling,” Brett muttered.
“Sir,” The woman said.
Brett turned to her and she was holding a keycard out to him. “Thanks.” Brett took the small piece of plastic, tapped the counter with it and nodded to the woman. He put one hand on Rylan’s shoulder and turned him toward the elevator.
“Enjoy your stay, gentlemen.” The woman smiled pleasantly.
