As the buildings rolled by, Eve put a hand to her mouth to stifle a yawn. She didn’t want to admit it, but she was bone-tired. She hadn’t worked this long a day in her last two years of investigating. But she’d never been on such an important case before. A career-defining case. When Caine pulled the vehicle to a halt in front of an elegant hotel, she was even too weary to be impressed. The doorman opened her door and she slid out. Before she could consider it, Caine was out of the vehicle and removing her bag from the trunk. “Thanks.” She reached for her suitcase. He held it firm. “I’ll get you settled.” She gave him a brief nod. “Okay.” She had to admit she was pleased that he was going up with her. At this point, she didn’t know if she could even handle her key card. As they stepped into the posh lobby, Caine took her arm and steered her toward the elevators. She didn’t protest. She was thankful for his guidance. Another time, she would’ve insisted on carrying her bag and going her own way, but not this morning, not in this place.
