The hotel was stunning, and Will had clearly spared no expense. Eliza and her mom were set up in a gorgeous two-bedroom suite. It even had its own kitchen, dining room, living room, and balcony.

“This is unbelievable!” her mom gasped as she wandered from room to room.

Even Eliza was a bit taken aback. “Will, this is ridiculous. We only needed a small hotel room.”

He shook his head. “It was nothing, believe me. A gift from the owner.” He wheeled her mom’s luggage into the living room. “Which bedroom do you claim, Melissa?”

“The blue one! I love the contrast with all the brown floral arrangements. It’s so pretty.”

“Very well, the blue and brown one it is.” He followed her mom into the room.

Eliza wandered into the other bedroom and found very elegant gray and yellow décor. The bed looked sumptuous with all its accent pillows. There was a small bowl of fruit and snacks on the nightstand, and bottles of water nearly everywhere.

“Do you like it?” Will asked from her doorway.

She spun around and shook her head in amazement. “I can’t imagine how much this cost.”

“Then stop worrying about it. Besides, I know the owner—he’s returning a favor. Oh, and there’s no charge for anything you eat or drink. It’s all part of the ticket, including room service.” He reached into his pocket, pulled out an envelope, and handed it to Eliza. “There’s a bunch of five-dollar bills in there. Use them for tips.”

“Wow. You’ve thought of everything, haven’t you? But really, you don’t need to.”

“One less thing you have to worry about.”

She opened the envelope and gasped. There had to be fifty bills. “This is way too much.”

He waved her off. “It’s no big deal. If you don’t use them all, you can give them back. But for now, don’t worry about it.”

“I can’t even imagine using them all.”

“They go fast, trust me. Let me know if you run out, and I’ll be sure to bring some more down.” He pointed toward the ceiling. “Georgia and I are in the room above yours at the top, so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call, and I’ll be here. Or just show up yourself, if you want.”

“So this is where you went off to.” Her mom came in the room and smiled.

“Are you hungry? What are you thinking for dinner?” Will asked her mom.

She looked back and forth between the two of them and then said, “Did I overhear you correctly? Is room service free?”

“Yes.”

She suddenly let out a big fake yawn and raised a hand to her forehead. “Goodness. I’m a bit wiped out from all the traveling.” She patted her mouth for emphasis. “I think I’d rather take advantage of that jetted tub in my bathroom and order some room service tonight. And probably hit the hay early.”

Good grief. “Mom, you don’t have to stay in.” Eliza wasn’t buying her act one bit.

“Yes, I do. I’m super tired. Don’t worry about me, though. Go out and have some fun.
