He led me out of the store and down the street, into The Crown Hotel.
“Welcome to Sin City’s favorite hell hole.” The desk agent didn’t look up from her magazine. “What do you need?”
“A room for the night,” Travis said.
“Clearly.” She popped her gum. “How long is that?”

Stopping in front of Room 2503, he slid a heart-shaped key into the door and gestured for me to enter first.
Hitting the lights, I dropped my bag to the floor in disbelief.
