“Calder and I will take the bed closest to the door It’s safest that way,” Lucien announced, dropping his overnight bag on the mattress in question

“That’s fine withon it Before leaving this ive hihts in Charleston

“Are you sure?” Calder inquired

Gio’s head popped up at the note of worry in Calder’s gentle voice “Yeah Of course”

Lines dug into Calder’s handsome face as he frowned at Gio’s bed as if it had insulted his ers over those lines, s away the worry and tension Instead, Gio shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans

“It’s just that it’s sooooo far away,” Calder continued in this forlorn voice while waving at the two feet that separated their beds like it was the Grand fucking Canyon “What if you need us and you’re way over there?”

The first tickle of laughter spasether He would not break “Need you?” he repeated

“Like if you have a nightmare and need someone to hold you until you fall back asleep”

“That’s a really good point,” Lucien agreed with a nod He stepped up behind Calder and loosely wrapped his arht? That bed looks like it would get cold with you sleeping there all alone”

“And lonely,” Calder added in the most pathetic voice he’d ever heard “So very lonely all the way over there”

The laughter Gio had been fighting since the two of them started their clearly rehearsed routine finally broke forth He shook his head as he laughed “You two are fucking ridiculous! I’ve slept in a bed alone before and survived just fine”

“Yes, but you’re in a strange place,” Lucien countered

“I was born in Charleston It’s not a strange place for me”
