Thank you to changingdestiny40 and guest for your reviews!
Guest - glad you liked it. But we can't move forward without a little foreshadowing conflict.
Grant's voice could be heard long before he entered the building, a giggling Skye in his arms. Turning back to the employee at the register, Kara shook her head with half-amusement, too tired to be much more than relieved that Skye seemed to be okay. The man behind the desk smirked as he saw the couple cross the threshold, raising an eyebrow at Kara.
"They yours?" he asked, laughter underlining his tone as he handed over the key to their room.
"Yup." She sighed. "Cliché third wheel over here."
He laughed, a deep, throaty chuckle. "Good luck." He offered.
"Thanks." She replied appreciatively before turning around to face her two ridiculous best friends. "Hey! Could, you know, tone down the volume just a teensy tiny bit?" Raising her hand, she held out her thumb and forefinger with the gap between them less than half of a centimetre.
Both of them looked at her, the laughter quietening immediately, but the amusement remained on their faces. Grant pursed his lips as he put Skye back down on the ground, and Skye got away with a smile as she struggled to exercise restraint.
"We really need to add more people to our gang." Kara muttered as she walked away.
"Why? We're fine as we are." Skye hurried to catch up.
"No, you're fine as we are." Kara turned around suddenly, causing Skye to walk into her. "You and Grant are together, and that's great, but it sucks to be the third wheel." She sighed, watching Grant slowly walk up behind Skye. "I step away so you too can have your moments, try to ignore the fact that a lot of the time, you two pretend that I'm not even in the same room; let alone a moving car." Skye opened her mouth to say something, but Kara waved her down. "It's mushy, and it sucks that I don't have that. That's all."
Kara turned around and started heading down the hallway, hearing the couple move after her.
