She still looked like a mess, but at least she wasn’t wearing pajamas, and her hair was behaving a little. Then she went to the front desk and asked for Felix Valentine. Her heart was thudding like crazy. She wondered if the check-in woman could tell. When Felix showed up, he looked even better than she remembered. His eyes were brighter, his smile came faster. “Hey, Mira,” he said. She started babbling immediately. “I don’t know if this is a good time. If it’s not, that’s okay. I would’ve waited for you to call, but your brother broke into my room this morning and made me leave, and I—I thought you should know.” “Wait—say that again? Blue broke into your room?” “One of his friends busted my door and they forced me to leave with them.” “I can’t believe no one told me about this,” Felix muttered. “Give me a minute.” He got out his phone and stepped away to make a call. She couldn’t hear much—the lobby was bustling this time of day—but she could tell by his face that he was yelling at someone.
