After a while, a black ride cruised up.

Out stepped a man in a slick black suit, and trailing behind him was a lady all dolled up. Too far to see her face clearly.
But she gave off a chilly vibe
Seeing her lightly dressed, Randell’s eyes filled with concern. “Didn’t I tell ya it’s cold out? You should bundle up more”

into?”
With each solid step he took, Randell’s character was revealed.
“Nope”
Then who?”
As they entered the Moon Inn, Randell asked for Brittany’s room and led the woman toward it. Just as he was about to open the door, he paused. “She’s a good friend of
mine.”
“Hold your tongue for a bit.”

Seeing the surprise and confusion in her eyes, and the fleeting joy, Randell knew he had played his cards right.
He clamped down on Reese’s hand and looked at her warmly “We just made it official, so I brought her to meet you.”
Reese quickly caught on and played along. “Hi, I’m Reese.”
‘Miss Reese, I’m Brittany.”
