Holly tilted her head back and groaned. "You promised, Eli."
He let out a chuckle. "Had to get the last bit out of my system. Goodnight, Wilkes."
"Night, Donnelley." She paused at the door of the guest room, waving before she went inside.
The banter they'd shared over the past half hour had given her some normalcy in a situation that was anything but normal. Within no time, she'd be back to giving him lip on a regular basis.
He couldn't wait for that day.

"Moo?" Holly peered under the bed where Miss was still cuddled up against the vent. "Aww. Okay, sweetie. I'm going to get ready for bed. Maybe you can come cuddle after I'm done."
Miss didn't like change, and she got stressed out easily. Holly hoped this entire mess didn't cause a flare up. Odds were it wouldn't, based on Miss's history. She usually settled in quickly once she realized there wasn't any danger.
Swallowing, Holly flashed back to last night and the fire. The fact they'd escaped unharmed without a single scratch was a miracle.
Forcing the memory from her mind, she gathered up her supplies and headed into the swanky bathroom. It was gigantic, with polished marble counters and floors, glass bowl sinks, and winks of chrome from the faucets and shower. The faint scent of lemongrass hung in the air, reminding her of a fancy spa.
She washed her face and took out her contacts, then changed into pajama shorts and a t-shirt.
After tying her hair up into a messy bun, she climbed into the queen-sized bed and pulled out the iPad Eli had insisted on buying her.
Halfway through the setup, she realized she didn't have Eli's Wi-Fi password. Sighing, she grabbed her phone and fired off a text.
Hey, what's the WIFI password?
Dots appeared on the screen as she waited for him to finish typing.
Eli:Wait a sec...
You don't know it?
Eli:Try and guess you won't get it.
Holly blew a lock of hair out of her face.
I'm not going to guess. Just tell me.
Eli:No, *that's* the password. Try and guess you won't get it. No spaces, tho.
Holly started laughing.
Only you, Donnelley.
Eli:;-)
No winking! Winking is not professional.
Eli:But professional is so boring. :->
It was boring, but at least it was safe.
What the eff is that face?
Eli:Hell if I know, but I figured it's less likely to get me into trouble. :->
Holly snorted and set her phone down on the nightstand. She typed in the Wi-Fi password, went through the rest of the setup, then popped on her glasses before entering Eli's name into Google.
