Comfort Inn

(Meek waited until he was a few miles away from the Fountainblue hotel to return Nicki's facetime call. He could hear the excitement in her voice when their lines connected)

Nicki: "HI love!!!" (she smiled at him)

Meek: "Hey Nick, I miss you baby"

Nicki: "I miss you too, what are you doing?

Meek: "Huh?"

(Meek hesitates for a moment as he leans over to turn his music all the way down)
