It’s slightly before midnight when I roll into Austin.

After the mini freak-out—thanks to the police officer—in the Whataburger parking lot, I didn’t stop for the rest of the way. Not even for gas. My needle is this close to empty, but hey I’m safe. Instead of calling Van again, I sang along loudly and off key until I pulled up to the hotel valet parking.

I’m beyond exhausted and thankful I’ve opted to stay here tonight instead of dealing with Case.

After a quick check-in, I decide to take a relaxing bubble bath before slipping into bed. Walking into the bathroom, I start filling the tub. Before I forget, I walk back into the room to the main door, open it and place the do-not-disturb sign outside, click the deadbolt, and proceed over to the bed where I tossed my bag. A nice hot bubble bath sounds absolutely divine. I’m praying it’ll help me sleep. Grabbing my bag, I head back into the bathroom to enjoy a nice long soak.

Maybe I can sleep without taking a pill tonight. Highly unlikely, but perhaps I could take half a dose. If it doesn’t work, I can always take the other half.

Seeing an iPod dock on the counter near the sink, I connect my phone, making sure the volume is down low as to not disturb neighboring guests and press play. Quickly undressing, I’m in the deliciously warm water within seconds. This is exactly what I needed. The moment of bliss doesn’t last long. My phone starts pinging with incoming texts, interrupting the music. Normally I’d let it go and check them later, but it’s more than one message, it’s several. Ugh, it seems like my soothing bath is over before it’s truly begun.

It takes two seconds for me to regret not ignoring the messages.

One glance at the screen is all it takes.

It’s not five but eight messages from Case.

Eight.

Scratch that, make it nine, another comes in while I’m unlocking my phone.

Guess there’s no time like the present to tell him I’m finally in Austin. I was waiting until the morning to let him know.

Case: Are you here yet?
