16. Solstice
There were a number of new packages in my room. Most of the shoes that had been specially made had arrived. I checked the time — ten in the morning. I didn’t want my room serviced today, nor did I want any packages being dropped off. They could hold them at the front desk for me. I opened the door, slipped the do not disturb sign on the handle, closed it and replaced the chain, so no one could get in.
I should be tired, I thought, but I was so pumped it would be a waste of my time to lie in bed. I’d spent almost seven hours with Drake, though it seemed a lot less. Time flies when you’re having fun … or planning the downfall of angels!
I stood in front of the wardrobe mirror and tried on my shoes, changing my clothes numerous times to work out what mixed and matched well.
