When Jungler realized she hadn’t specified a location, he sent over an address for the Sapphire Sojourn Hotel, with a quick message, “Is this okay?”

Cordelia shot back a reply, “Sure.”

As long as it was in Greenmeadow, she feared nothing.

Yates nodded, “Sounds good.”

Cordelia was taken aback, “What’s PC version?”

“That would be for the computer.”
