Speed back to the hotel

“Alright, so here, I’ve outlined the change order requests,” Dan said, pointing to one of the pages in the contract. Byron and Dan were seated at an empty table that was still cluttered with someone’s dirty dishes. “If you take a look throughout there, I’ve highlighted each of the sustainability initiatives that you are —-”

Bryon flipped to the last page and quickly signed and dated it, almost by instinct.

“Want another beer?” Bryon asked with a sly smile, likely testing Dan to see if he would partake and foot the bill for him and maybe his group.

Dan’s patience was running thin. He gathered up the contract and stood up. “No, thanks. Like I said, I have to get back to my wife.”

Byron laughed. “Yeah, that’s right! Sure, I don’t blame you at all. Hey, what about a nightcap? Maybe I could come back up with you —”

“Sorry, Byron, gotta go. I’ll call you tomorrow, alright?” Dan shut him down as he reached out and shook Byron’s hand and headed towards the door.

After speed walking back to the hotel, the elevator took an eternity to reach his floor. He quietly made his way down the hall, slid his room key into the door and entered the pitch-black hotel room. Dan quietly got undressed and surveyed the scene. Jesse was still snoring and Sarah seemed to be out as well.

Good, everything is just as I left it.
