" What did they say?" Paris asked as she walked over followed by Tristan and Erin.
" Luke and my mo left twenty minutes ago and had my Grandma check me into a nearby hotel."
" Well…if you don't want to stay there you can always stay at my house."
" No. I'll be okay. I just need a ride."
" Erin and I are leaving. What hotel are you staying at?"
" The Palace."
" Oh."
" That's okay. You guys don't have to go out of your way for me."
Tristan who had been silently waiting for someone to ask him to drive her decided to speak up.
" I can do it."
" Are you sure?" Rory asked.
" Yeah. I drive right past it."
" Okay. Thanks."
" No problem. You ready to leave?"
" Yeah."
" Well since that is settled Erin and I will be leaving. Call me later Rory. It was nice to see you again Tristan."
" Bye."
" I'll get our coats and then we'll be one our way too."
" Okay. I've got my bag already."
" Oh." Tristan looked at down and saw Rory's small bag at her feet.
Rory watched Tristan walk to the coatroom. She waited patiently for him to return and when he did she smiled.
" Your coat young lady." Tristan said to Rory as he helped her into it.
" Thanks you sir."
" Ready?"
"
Yes."
Rory took the arm Tristan offered and they walked into the night. Everything was going just as she planned it. She stepped out of the shadow and smiling at a few people she passed she disappeared into the night.
