“I will.”

Eden followed the Uber driver.

He opened the back door. “Get in, ma’am, before you fall.”

Eden smiled. “I won’t. You will need to spray disinfectant, so no one gets this.”

“I carry a can of Lysol. I spray it down every time.”

“You’re a smart man,” she said and relaxed back in the seat.

“Barney told me you want the best hotel that’s close and has room service?”

She nodded. “Yes, please.”

“I’m taking you to the Hilton. They are great about taking care of their guests, and the food is awesome.”

“That would be wonderful.” She didn’t care if it was a cardboard box at the moment. She just needed to lie down.

Within a few minutes, they pulled under the hotel awning. She heard Franky talk to someone outside her door and just waited.

“Take good care of her.”

“You got it, Franky.”

The door opened, and she tried to smile.

“Oh, my. Let’s get you inside.”

The man helped her out of the car, into the hotel lobby, and up to the desk.

“Hey, Robin, we’ve got a sick girl here.”

The woman looked instantly concerned.

“Let’s get you checked in. Do you have a credit card?”

Eden nodded. “Yes, it’s in my purse.”

Robin helped her get it out. “I’ll have Elliot take you to your room. I’ll have someone else bring a few things I think you might need.”

She couldn’t get over how helpful everyone was.

“I hope you get well soon.”

“Thank you, Franky, for all your help.”

“I am glad I was here.”

The man walked away.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go to a hospital?” Robin asked.

Eden shook her head. “No. It’s just a cold and a broken heart.” God, why did she have to say that?

Robin looked even more sympathetic. “We’ll get youtaken care of. Please call down to the desk once a day. Just tell them your name. That’s so I know you’re okay on your own.”

“I can do that.”
