She thought for a moment, then nodded. “It’s actually brilliant.”

“Thank you.”

She walked to him. “There is one problem with this room.”

“An oversight,” he said. “Which can be easily remedied.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

She kissed him again.

“Later, of course,” he said.

“Later is better.”

Stone used his foot to shut the door.

Stone called to her and waved.

She looked around, surprised, then smiled when she spotted them and waved back.

Stone met her halfway and pulled her into a hug and kissed her. “It seems like you’ve been gone forever.”

“I’d love that.”

“Shall I arrange a ride?”

“Already done. It’ll be here at ten.”

“I convinced Dino to go horseback riding.”
