Whatever the End

After that, we thought it would be fun to walk around the city. We were hopelessly wrong. Princess finally broke down and called a cab. The entire car ride back to the hotel, Oscar insisted on retelling his heroics. I thought I’d be nice and not point out that he was one of the ones laughing at the little girl. But then I got tired of being nice and tatletaled on him.

When we arrived back at our hotel, Henry was on his way out. I smirked, “Leaving so soon, Henry?”

“Unfortunately, Mystery girl,” he replied. He stopped and waved at everyone.

“Mystery girl?” I repeated.

“Since you refuse to give me your name...” He smirked.

“Off to do less tourist-y things?” I teased.

“I only have a few hours before I have to be back here for the night shift. But I’m sure I can give you a quick tour of the city. You folks up to it?”

“No can do,” Oscar said. Oscar put his arm on my shoulder and used me as support. “We got plans.”

“We do?” Princess asked.

“Yes!” Oscar exclaimed. “You guys said we could watch ‘The Haunting in Connecticut’.”

“I was driving,” Neal said.

“I was listening to the radio,” Princess said.

“I was hungover,” I said.

“I just wasn’t listening to you,” Theo said.

Oscar pushed away from us and shook his head. “I honestly feel betrayed.”

“Well, I best be off,” Henry said. “Wouldn’t want to impede on you guys watching one of the greatest horror films of our time.” Henry smiled at us and left the hotel.

“I like him,” Oscar beamed.
