River took what she said into consideration. "Alright. We'll go to Des Moines and find a hotel, and we passed by a few fast food places on the way, so we can pick something up there." He looked at his watch. Yup. Fast food. Nothing else would be open. He would just call into work tomorrow. He didn't take many days off at all, so they shouldn't be too upset. They'd probably be more worried whether things were okay with him.
Derek handed her her purse and sat back in the seat. He was plenty happy with sleep and food. "I like this plan." Derek ran his own salon so... there was really no big effort on his part to not show up. Just call and have someone come in for just a while so they could call the people he had lined up an reschedule.
