FULL CIRCLE

Chapter 35

Miles slowly opened his eyes and rolled over to look at the clock, noticing he'd been asleep for at least five hours. His headache was still bearable and he actually felt like doing something more than
lying in bed. Deciding that a shower and a change of clothes were the first order of business, he got to his feet being careful not to aggravate his headache.

Emerging from the bathroom, toweling off his still damp hair, Miles felt ready to face the world again. And suddenly staying in the hotel room wasn't exactly what he wanted to do. Besides getting out in the fresh air might help clear his head.

He was looking around for his room key when he spotted the set of car keys Frank had left on the desk. All cautions about driving forgotten, Miles slipped the keys into the pocket of his light
jacket. He'd go see his father; get it over with. And he'd be fulfilling the promise Lilith had gotten him to make.

He couldn't help but wonder how it would of been if things had turned out differently in Virginia; if Lilith hadn't died. He'd stayed awayfrom getting romantically involved in the past, preferring to
concentrate on his work. But somehow in the desperate situation she'd gotten to him and he'd began to fall in love.

Sliding behind the wheel of the car, Miles reached into his pocket to make sure he had his phone just in case he had to call someone. Not that he planned on having to do that. A quick check of the map and he was on his way.
