My cheeks flushed, and Rose rolled her eyes, gripping my hand in hers.

"That blush is sure to make them feral," she said."Let's go before someone else hits on my book husband."

I smiled as she tugged me away and into the elevator.Couldn't help it.

Once we were riding up to our floor, Rose glanced sideways at me."Why are you smiling so hard?" she asked."Did you like their attention that much?"

"No," I said, "but I like having yours."

"Oh?"

"Love it when you lay claim to me."

Rose bit back a smile as we walked off the elevator, found the right hall, and located our room.We opened the door, and she released my hand as we went inside.

"This will work," I said.

"Finn," she groaned.

"What?"

"They put us in the honeymoon suite."

"Yeah, so?"

Rose shook her head, muttering, "When the lady at the desk mentioned an upgrade, I didn't think she meant this."

Looking around, I took it in.The room was a lot.But it was nice.

I pushed my hands into my pockets."Still not seeing the problem."

"The atmosphere is over-the-top romantic," she said."Look at that fireplace.The pillows say 'His' and 'Hers.'There's a vase of roses on the table, and are those…wow.They even put rose petals on the bed.Nice touch."

I lifted my chin."At least it's a king-size this time."

Rose just shook her head.

"So, what's the game plan?"

"Do we need one?" she asked with a sigh."We play the happy couple, totally smitten, madly in love."

I raised my brows as her voice quieted at the end."Easy."

"Yeah…do you have your ring?"

"Of course," I said, lifting the chain from my shirt and sliding the ring on my finger before reattaching the necklace."What about you?"

Rose nodded and raised her hand.

Seeing that ring on her finger would never get old.

"Finn, I…" she trailed off.

"What?" I said, but Rose just shook her head.

"We should go down, sign in at registration."

"Okay, I'm with you."
