Chapter Eight

“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU yesterday?” Chad asked Holly. He’d just stepped out of his suite at the Halifax Hotel as Holly arrived on the sixteenth floor. “You disappeared during the afternoon and didn’t come back.”

“Oh, family stuff,” Holly answered. “My brother’s wife had a baby boy yesterday.”

“Hey, that’s great.” Chad’s eyebrows shot up.

“Yeah, it is.”

Holly moved down the hall. Last night she’d forgotten all about the newborn baby. She and Dane had gone several rounds in bed in between recovery naps. She can’t have had more than four hours sleep, and parts of her body were still aching—in the best way possible. Her blood stirred with the memories of everything she’d done with Dane. In the cold light of day, last night’s antics seemed extra decadent and reckless. But she couldn’t say she regretted it; she only wished last night had been longer.

Yawning, she dug into her tote bag for her keys. Chad stopped with her and began talking about the competition, but she only listened with half an ear as she fumbled with the lock.

“Mind if I take a look at what you’ve done so far?” Chad asked.

“Sure.” She opened the door, stepped into the suite, and stopped dead, her jaw dropping. “What the—”

At first she thought she’d opened the wrong door. But this was definitely her suite—and the room had been trashed. Someone had splashed garish red paint all over her oyster walls, geometric wallpaper, and fine rugs. They had slashed the couches and cushions, tossing feathers and foam everywhere. They had broken the lamps, upended the tables, torn down the curtains. Heart in mouth, Holly rushed to the adjoining bedroom. Here, the linen lay in a pile on the bed, and as she approached, she caught the distinctive, pungent odor of urine. Whoever had done this, had made sure to piss over the entire bed.

Nausea rose in her throat as she leaned against the bedroom doorway for support.

“Who would do this? It’s disgusting!” Chad boomed, red in the face.

She barely heard him, the buzzing in her ears so loud it felt like a swarm of angry bees had invaded her skull.

“What’s going on?”

Attracted by Chad’s shouts, more people entered the suite and stopped in horror. The noise rose. A security guard bustled in and gawped around him.

“Has anyone else’s room been broken into?” he asked.

The other contestants shook their heads. Everyone was here. Except for Dane, Holly noticed. When he’d left her this morning, he’d said he was going home to shower and change.

The guard turned to Holly. “Ma’am, did you remember to lock up last night?”

Holly forced herself to stand up straight. She had to snap out of her shock and deal with the situation. “Yes, I’m sure I did because I used my key this morning.” She glanced at Chad. “You saw me unlocking the door, didn’t you?”

Chad nodded, his face still puce. “What kind of two bit security system do you run in this place if anyone can break in?” he demanded of the security guard.
