Some hours later, Lodrán and Annie tottered up a hotel hall, arms around each other. Annie laughed on occasion at their stumbles, while Lodrán tried to remember how the elevator worked and how he would find his way back to the exhibition hall. The style of dancing here was chaotic, but he did well enough to get a compliment from Annie. Not that it required much more than letting go of one’s inhibitions, and the drink made that simple. He’d not drank so much since that night he found himself peering into the chambers of Lord Tarchus’s daughter. He never could bring himself to break up that stolen necklace, more wealth than he could spend in a hundred years—

“Here we are,” said Annie, fumbling a small card out of her pants pocket. Lodrán watched as she inserted it in a slot above the door handle, then withdrew it. Lodrán heard a click, and she opened the door then gave him a hesitant smile. “You wanna come in?”

Lodrán looked down. “Annie, in… where I come from, if a woman invites a man into her chambers at night, it’s not to drink tea.” He looked at her and smiled. “But I’ve enjoyed our time together, and I wouldn’t mind extending it a few more hours.”

“It’s not all that different here,” she said. “I usually don’t do this, but you’ve been nice and… well, I don’t get out a lot. Maybe it’ll be more than a fling. I hope so.”

“I can’t promise much beyond this night, Annie. But not because I have anyone to go home to.”

“Hell, at least you’re honest.” Annie laughed. “Maybe we can have room service bring us breakfast in the morning.”
