CHAPTER 16

Heaven gazed around at the different faces spread about the hotel lobby. Aside from the elderly ladies, who’d smiled after noticing her belly, no one else paid her much attention. She didn’t recognize any of the other patrons passing by, which helped to relieve some of the anxiousness fluttering inside.

She couldn’t believe Dylan brought her here when it risked them being discovered. His previous stint in the spotlight didn’t help them blend well with society. While the three-day-old stubble on his face made her heart take an extra beat, it didn’t do much to alter his appearance. Someone would recognize him if they weren’t careful. Should they pass any reporters, their picture would be in the paper, and then Nate or his people would be on their trail.

Dylan gave their luggage to the bellhop, then slipped a room key in her hand. “Hold on to this one just in case you need it. I doubt you’ll get me out of your hair for that long, but either way, you’ll have one.”

Chuckling at him, she placed her arm around his waist as his went around her shoulders. “You’re sure we’re safe? We’re almost two hours away from everyone if something happens.”

“Relax,” he whispered, kissing the side of her head. “Mom wouldn’t have suggested we do this if she didn’t think it was safe. Her intuition is better than mine, plus she has foresight. She would have foreseen any issues.”

“Okay.” Heaven nodded, falling in step with him as they moved toward the elevators. Even though she knew it was risky, she loved the idea of being alone with him for the next couple of days. She needed some time away from Layne. They both did, and Layne needed time too. He’d told her as much when they spoke yesterday. Guess that’s why he didn’t insist on coming with them when Dylan told him about this trip. Hopefully, he would be ready to work on their connection when she returned.

Vibrations filled her hand as her phone buzzed to life. A text message bubble flashed across the screen with Hope’s name at the top. She slid her finger across the phone, pulling the message up a second later.

“Who is it?”

A mixture of curiosity and worry weighed in her husband’s energy, but she didn’t let it sidetrack her. She held a finger up, signaling for him to wait, and then continued scanning the message. A smile spread across her lips when she reached the last word.

“It’s Hope,” she answered, tucking the phone back inside her purse. “She and Scott will be here in a few days.”

Dylan seemed pleased with the news. He gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze and pulled her closer. It made walking more difficult, but she loved the feel of his arms around her. “The more people we have surrounding you, the safer you’ll remain. It will be good having Scott around too.”

Of course it would. Too bad Scott couldn’t have stayed with them in Jamaica when he and Hope came to visit.
