Marisa: I’m here. Getting my bags.

Harlow: We just arrived at the hotel. Can’t wait to see you!

I turn to Quinn as we walk into the lobby. “Marisa is grabbing her bags, and she’ll be on her way.”

“Perfect.” She smiles.

The hotel lobby is all black, with immense columns that have LED screens that are playing clips of abstract art on a loop. I reach in my bag for my camera as I look around in awe.

“That didn’t take long.” Acyn chuckles beside me.

“I know, I was trying to not take a billion pictures… but I have to.”

He wraps his arm around my neck and kisses my temple. “Take a billion pictures, Sunshine.”

Acyn gets it. Photography is second nature to me. People ask how I enjoy the moment if I’m always busy taking pictures. Truth is, I am enjoying the moment–savoring it–with each photo my camera captures. I look for the little things that no one else notices but will want to remember. Through my lens, I see Quinn smiling at Kyrell as he palms her belly and talks to their baby. Zane stands behind Sevyn with his arms wrapped around her shoulders and a look of contentedness on their faces. And when I focus my lens on Acyn, all I see is the love and admiration he has for me. These are the moments I capture. I get to remember them forever.

Kyrell finishes up at the reception desk and turns to us, handing me a key. “I got you and Acyn a suite so you two can bang at your leisure.” He smirks.

“You’re so annoying, but thank you.” I laugh.

Chuckling, Acyn shrugs. “At least you know what it is.”

“The rest of us will stay in two separate suites.” Kyrell says. “One for the ladies and one for the gents, but we’re all on the same floor to make it easier to link up.”

“We’re doing our own thing tonight, right?” I ask.

“Harls, you know I never have a plan. I just go with what feels right.” Kyrell winks.

“Yes, we’re doing our own thing.” Quinn chimes in. The calm to Kyrell’s chaos. “We’ll meet up for breakfast and some shows, but the night is our own. I figured we could get ready, have the lingerie party, and then go get drinks.”

“Lingerie party?” all three men ask in unison.

We stare back at them. “You wouldn’t get it.” I smile at Acyn and continue talking to the girls. “Okay, I guess we’ll all get situated. What time should we plan to meet up?”

Quinn glances at her watch. “Meet us in our suite in an hour for the party, and then we can go for drinks from there.”

“Perfect.”

“They already took your bags up to the room. I guess we’ll meet in an hour, too,” Kyrell says to Acyn.

We all pile into the elevator, and I send Marisa a text with the room number.
