What Lies Beyond, Chapter 30
At Laura's hotel — AJ greeted everyone attending the reopening. Kevin, Mac, Felicia, Robin, Anna, Emma, and The Quartermaines — Carly and Lucas, Spencer and Nikolas, Lulu and Lucky. "Thank you for coming to the reopening of the hotel. I'm naming it Laura after our late Mayor. She was the heart of this town, and I hope you enjoy it," AJ said. "I can't believe you named it after Laura; you did something nice," Carly said as she passed by AJ. "I have changed; I don't know about you," AJ replied. "You do have competition; I'm opening a hotel too." "Where did you get the money for that?" Carly asked. "I have my ways of getting what I want. You should know that," AJ replied.
Lulu and Charlotte looked around the hotel. "Mom, are you alright?" Lulu asked. "Yes, I think this is a wonderful way to honor my mother," Charlotte said. "Yes, I do too. Grandmother loved this town," Lulu responded, touching her daughter.
Monica and Jeff enjoyed the hotel reopening. "I love the idea of this hotel honoring Laura," Monica said. "Me too. It was my son's idea. I'm so proud of him," Jeff added. "I'm glad. You'll get your chance with your kids; you just can't let them push you away," Monica advised. "I would," Jeff said, while Carolyn watched them, feeling jealous of the time they spent together.
Skye was at the bar getting a drink when Ric approached. "Sorry I'm late." "It's alright. I forgot you," Skye said, kissing him as the girls came over. "Mother, what's going on?" Lila Rae and Gabriella asked. "I'm dating Ric. I need to move on," Skye explained. "We just want you happy, right, Gabriella?" Lulu asked. "Yes," Gabriella replied, looking upset.
