I shot a quick look at Hayden, then turned to Demi, "You're just talking crazy 'cause you're wiped out."

"I'm not talking crazy. You two are total workaholics. I feel like I can't keep up anymore," Demi mumbled, slumping into the car seat.

"Whether you can or not, you gotta hang in there. We're almost done," I said, trying to sound reassuring. Earlier today, I scoped out what still needed fixing. At the pace we're going, we should wrap this up in about ten days.

"How much longer?" Demi whined, like she couldn't survive even one more day.

"About ten days," I said after sneaking another glance at Hayden through the rearview mirror.

"Ten days..." Demi groaned, her voice dripping with defeat.

By the time we got to the hotel, Demi was out cold. I called her name a few times, but she was in dreamland. Finally, I leaned in close and whispered, "If you don't get up, I'll make Hayden carry you." "Fine, carry me," Demi mumbled, holding out her hand. I couldn't help but laugh and gave her a gentle tug. "Come on, let's move it."

Demi, barely awake, let me guide her into the elevator and up to our floor. Just as we got to our rooms, Hayden, who'd been dead silent the whole ride, finally spoke up. "Keira, I need to talk to you."
