Chapter Eighty Eight

Katie and Cole lay there talking about anything that came to mind to pass the time. Their main goal was to spend more time with each other. While Katie was certainly aware of why this came naturally to both of them, Cole was at a loss for words. Suspicions crept in but were swatted the moment they made his heart jump and become erratic. In the end, he just settled into his role and kept the lovely girl that rested on his chest company. 

The sun was setting when Cole decided to mention the dance that he was supposed to be attending, "Are you going to go to the dance in those clothes?" she asked, looking at the suit that had become dirty during his fight with Jeremiah.

"No, I can't go like this. I'll have to go back to the suite and get clothes," he replied.

Katie got off him and allowed him to stand, "Well, it's about an hour before I have to go. Need an escort to your suite and back… Personal bodyguard?" Katie asked.
