The room seemed perfect for two little six year old girls. Ryker watched in awe as the twins snuggled up against Shelby as she read "Guess How Much I Love You." When she was done reading she kissed Sierra and Amelia's heads and wished them goodnight and closed the door half way behind her.
Ryker: your daughters remind me so much
Shelby: thank you, now let's get you to your room
Shelby and Ryker took the elevator to the 66 floor from the 62nd floor.
Shelby: here is your room

Shelby: there is a list on the night stand for what is on each floor of this building so you don't get lost

Shelby: there is a list on the night stand for what is on each floor of this building so you don't get lost. Marigold will come and get you in the morning with clothes
Shelby starts to leave
Ryker: wait shelby
Shelby: I promise I tell you everything tomorrow. Goodnight Ryker
And with that she closes the door.
Next morning-
Marigold knocks on Rykers door
Ryker: (half awake) come in
Marigold: good morning sir I brought you some clothes. Breakfast is in the kitchen when your ready and madame Shelby would like to see you this afternoon after her meetings.
Marigold was in her late fifties she wore a white blouse and a blue skirt
Ryker: Mrs. Marigold
Marigold: just Marigold is fine sir
Ryker: Marigold. Where are my friends
Marigold: oh why they are already eating their breakfast you might want to hurry before its all gone I'll be back later to take you to madame shelby
And with that marigold was gone. Ryker looked at the clothes that had been left for him. There were black boots, blue denim ripped jeans, black tank top, and a black leather jacket.
Ryker: well this will be a interesting day.
Ryker eventually got dressed and found the kitchen.the kitchen was more like a buffet there was so much food. He chose to have Denver omelet with hashbrowns and a coffee. He eventually found Bethany, Matt and Kevin and sat with them
Matt: hey there he is, come thoust must sit.
