"Uhm.. Sir? Can I help you?" I mumble while staring at him.
He breaks out into a huge grin, the kind of grin you see on little kids when they get their favorite toy.
He reaches out to me, and I start to fall backwards trying to move away. He latch...

I tried holding his hand at one point, but he tossed my hand off him, loudly sighing.
So I've been sitting here silently, dozing off here and there.

I guess I did fall asleep, as I am startled awake by the driver side door slamming shut.
I shoot upwards, looking around curiously.

I make my way inside, seeing a young girl behind the counter with cute curly blonde hair and big blue eyes.
"Hi! What can I do for you?" She asks in a chipper voice.
I smile kindly at her and reply that I need a room.
We go through the checking in process, and she hands me the key, pointing in which direction my room is.
"If you need any towels or shower soaps, you can call down here and it will be brought up. Breakfast is from 6 to 9." She tells me.
