WE HAD BEEN ON THE road for a few hours and because of the stress and the late hour, I was out of it. I could use a bed but I knew asking to stop would be useless. Shade would insist we continue driving to whatever destination he had in mind. The fewer stops the better.

My eyes drooped and my head nodded forward. I jerked to attention. Looking around, I found that we were pulling into a hotel parking lot. It wasn’t a rundown motel which was Shade’s usual MO. This one was nice and looked clean like the one we didn’t get to stay in Moab.

“Where are we?” I yawned stretching.

“New Orleans.”

I had always wanted to visit the Voodoo city, but given that I wasn’t really allowed to leave the house the first eighteen years of my life, I never had gotten the chance. Maybe we would stay awhile and I would get the chance to look around.

“Why are we stopping? Is this where we’re going to hideout?”

Not that I was complaining. It just didn’t seem far enough considering we were running again. The last time we went from Utah to Alabama.

“You need some sleep. This is far enough for now.” He shrugged as if it was nothing but it felt like he wasn’t telling me something.

Something my exhausted brain couldn’t seem to wrap around. Maybe I would ask him about it later when I was more alert.

“That’s nice,” I mumbled as I stumbled behind him.

He slowed, wrapping a supportive arm around my shoulder. I appreciated the gesture. I could use the extra support right now. My legs were having the hardest time keeping me up. As I leaned into him, my eyes fluttered closed. I had to fight to get them to reopen.

Shade booked a room quickly, never taking his arm from around me. By the time we reached the elevator my eyes refused to stay open. Shade supported all my weight now and gave up on trying to help me walk. He swept me up into his arms, carrying me to the room.

Once we were inside, Shade lay me on the bed and tugged my shoes off. I curled on my side, hugging a pillow to my chest. I thought I heard Shade say something, but it sounded far off. The darkness was dragging me under again. I didn’t fight it. I was too tired, and I needed sleep.
