Veronica Murphy made an ‘OK’ gesture with her hand. “Remember what you said today. Next time, it’s your treat.”

With that, she went into the bedroom to freshen up. Eleanor Gomez tossed her crutch aside and hobbled into the bedroom, settling on the bed. “Come on, spill the beans. What were you up to yesterday?”

Late last night, Eleanor Gomez had gone looking for Veronica Murphy, only to discover that she wasn’t in the room. It wasn’t surprising, considering Veronica Murphy had rushed her out earlier, behaving somewhat unusually.

She lifted her leg in a cast. “Once I’m better, I’ll be able to go wherever I please too.”

“Learned a lesson so that next time you won’t go ‘joyriding’ again,” Veronica Murphy muttered with a mouthful of foam as she brushed her teeth.

Once she finished freshening up and changed into a new outfit, she went downstairs with Eleanor Gomez to have a meal. Troy Ritter had been waiting for the two of them in the hotel restaurant.
