There was still the world outside their hotel room door, all the people going about their business, and at any moment they could request help. It wouldn't be something that either him or Elle would be able to deny. But he really didn't want to think about that. Instead he just hoped for a few hours that could be spent with her.

He wanted to take her out, maybe to the carnival, something that Elle had never experienced before. He also needed to see Claire and spend some time with her, but that could wait too, at least for the night. Slowly he unwrapped his arm from around her body and smiled a little.
