She had assumed Nate had brought her to the hotel with the intention of having her stay.
She didn’t think much of it and only replied softly, “Okay.” As she was leaving, Corrine pressed her lips to Nate's
in a tender kiss.
“You should rest early.”

Corrine departed the hotel and headed straight to the Ford Mansion. When she stepped out of the car, her
