“Where, exactly are we going?” “The Longview.” “I was afraid you’d say that.” I put the car in gear and we took off. The hotel was just a few blocks down Main Street, and it came into sight all lit up against the evening sky. I drove into the parking lot behind the hotel, pulled to a stop, and opened the door. “Wait here,” Matthew told me. “I don’t think you should come with me.” I didn’t argue, but if he thought I was going to wait in the car, he had another think coming. I stepped out. “Della,” he said sharply, “this is something I want to do by myself.” “Fine. You do whatever it is you want to do. I’ll watch.” I threw up my hands. “No harm.” He shook his head in frustration. “You drive me crazy.” “Oh yeah? Well, it’s a short drive,” I said, grinning.
