"Something to do with my hands while I go over all of this again," Nathan said as he leaned against the counter. And it was an 'again' because he had been over some of it with her before, but it hadn't lead him to anything he could call any kind of good decision.
"What am I still doing here, Heidi?" he asked, sighing heavily. "Anything that I can't still do from somewhere else in the city?"
There were other concerns, other points, but that was one that Nathan was the mostly deeply stuck on. What was the point of staying while another daughter, one without another support network out there in the city, left this hotel? Even more, what was the point of staying despite that if he served no on-site purpose?
