It wasn't until nearly nine that Dean got off the highway to find a hotel. In his defense, he didn't want a long drive Sunday morning, and he definitely didn't want to be late for the funeral.

Dean hid his grin. "Um, I'd like to check in, please."

"Sure. How many nights will you be staying?" She asked.

She smiled even wider, typing away on the computer. A moment later she handed him his key card.

"Fourth floor, turn right." She said.

He nodded. "Have a good night." He told her. He grabbed his suitcase and headed to the elevator.
