The plane landed in Houston a few minutes after nine. A limo picked up Blake, Nicola, and Iris and took them to the ‘Post Oak Hotel’ in Uptown Houston. Blake had reserved the Presidential Suite for them. The thought of being in the same hotel suite with Blake was a bit unsettling, but there was also Iris, so that made the situation acceptable.
Once they checked in, Nicola took Iris to their room and Blake retired to his. The little girl was pretty tired, so Nicola prepared her for the night, and then quickly unpacked their bags. Someone knocked at the suite’s door and after a few seconds, she heard Blake talking to someone. Maybe it was something connected to his next day's meeting.
Since she was still way too agitated to go to bed, Nicola decided to stay in the living room for a while.
