“Then I'm coming with you,” he told her.
“You don't have to do that,” she replied.
“I want to,” he said.
“I'll have to let Zaine know. I was supposed to go to the club after work, but now I've got a trip to plan.” She pulled out her phone and sent a text.
Me:Hey. Sorry, but I'm not going to make it tonight
Hotstuff:What's wrong?
Me:A spell I did for Finley has gone wrong and I'm out of an important ingredient. I have to fly to Scotland to get it, so I'll be gone for a couple of days
Hotstuff:Scotland? Count me in! I could use a mini-vacay
Me:It's not really a vacation
Hotstuff:Two days off from the club is a mini-vacay for me
Sorcha laughed and shook her head.
“What?” Finley asked.
“Zaine wants to come with. He's calling it a mini-vacay because he'll get away from the club for two days.”
“Ahh. Tell him the more, the merrier. I'll cover the tickets,” Finley said.
“Okay,” she replied.
Me:Finley says the more the merrier. He's covering the tickets. I'll let you know when the flight leaves
Hotstuff:Thanks, Angel. And tell Finley thanks
“Zaine says thank you,” Sorcha told him. Then she pulled up flights to Scotland. “There's a flight leaving at 2 am. We can get three seats together, should I book it?”
“Absolutely. Here's my credit card,” he told her and handed it over.
“We have to be there by midnight so we can get checked in,” Sorcha told him once she was done.
“I'll pick you and Zaine both up, so we only have one vehicle in long-term parking.”
“Pick me up by ten,” she told him, “since it's an hour to the airport. That way we know we'll get there in time. We'll get into London at noon, and we have a six-hour layover before our flight to Scotland.”
“Damn, that's a long layover,” Finley said.
“Yeah. We can spend a couple of hours touring London, maybe get lunch, before our short flight to Glasgow.”
“Okay. I'll drop you off at your place. You let Zaine know we'll be at his place tonight after I pick you up.”
“Sure thing,” she replied.
Me:Flight leaves at 2, we'll be at your place by 10:30 to pick you up. Be ready
Hotstuff:See you then, Angel
When they got back to her shop he went around and helped her out. “See you in a few hours, Sweetheart,” he said and kissed her.
“Mm. See you in a few hours,” she replied.
