“I know that smile. Prue is going to go call her boyfriend.” Sheridan points at me.

“Don’t tease, Prue.”

Thank you, Juniper.

“There will be plenty of time to do that later, as we pump her for all the details.”

And here I thought Junie was the sweet one of the group. These girls are going to keep me on my toes as they try to pry everything out of me. I grin.

The suite is outrageously lovely and my room is no different with its massive king-sized bed that’s covered in pillows. I flop down on the bed with phone in hand.

Me: Got here safe, Darling.

Vex: Good. How do you like the hotel?

Me: The wildest thing happened, and the convention switched hotels last minute.

Vex: Oh? Where are you now? You aren’t at some nasty hotel in a bad neighborhood.

That’s kind of what I expected when the people at the front desk were telling us about the hotel.

Me: No. They moved us to this 5-star hotel.

To be fair, if it was possible, this place probably would get six stars.

Vex: Where are you, Dahl?

Me: Suncatchers. It’s one of those super fancy Kentworth Hotels.

Vex: Good. They have decent security.

Me: Is that all you can think about?

Vex: When it comes to you, yes.

Me: I love you.

Vex: Love you too, Dahl.

Vex: You know I could be on a plane on my way to you in the next hour.

Me: Don’t even tempt me.

Me: The girls and I are going to have a group meeting in a few minutes to decide what to do.

Vex: Oh?

Me: We usually do something wild the first night.

Vex: Wild?

Me: Dinner and a show are wild for us. Don’t get all twitchy over there.

Vex: I don’t get twitchy. I get trigger-happy.

EEEK! Though it says something about the change in our relationship that Vex can joke around with me about stuff like that.

Me: Haha. What are you going to do without me for a whole week?
