Ryan was still there. Seeing I come down, he quickly walked over and said, “Ms. Murphy, you’ve had a few drinks

tonight. Want me to drive you home?”

I replied, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” With that, I handed him my car keys.

While Ryan went to get the car, I leaned against a pillar by the hotel entrance. The place was glowing with lights, full of life tonight.

Ryan pulled up and opened the back door for me.
