Chapter 111

The whole ride there, Brandon just kept his cool, driving in silence, not much chatter.

When they pulled up at the hotel entrance, Brandon hopped out and hauled Sophia’s suitcase down for her.

Sophia grabbed her suitcase, flashed a smile, and bid Brandon farewell.

“When you heading back?” Brandon asked.

“In a few days, I guess.” Sophia replied, still uncertain, since it all hinged on how Haley was bouncing back.

Brandon nodded, “If you need anything, give Kent a buzz.”

“Will do,” Sophia nodded back.

She gestured to the hotel lobby behind her, “Well, I’m gonna head back in.”

Brandon returned the nod, watched her enter the hotel, and didn’t move until she vanished around the elevator corner. Then he spun around and got back into his car.
