"Okay, now—"
"We're not doing this again." Letty shakes her head as she looks at her older brother. "I've traveled across the country with him, and I can travel with him to Boston without a lecture from you. Thanks, though."
"You had Cory with you then." Alec argues.
"You know what I didn't have then?"
"A relationship with you." Tyler says as he walks behind her in the kitchen, and Reggie laughs as the brunette smiles at her brother.
"How does it feel to know that when it comes to an argument between the two of you, Tyler always takes her side?" The younger of the Price brothers asks as he looks at his best friend.
"Well, someone has to." Letty says. "I can't have you all ganging up on me, I'm already outnumbered as it is. It's nice to keep things even where we can."
"Hey, kid?" Tyler gets her attention, and she looks over at him. "Don't come back pregnant."
"You got it." She gives him a mock salute.
"Now that that's taken care of..." Reggie laughs at the annoyed look on Alec's face.
"And I'm leaving now, before the fight breaks out." Letty says as she starts for the door so that she can walk over to the Matthews' house, and then she and Eric leave for Boston.
They're staying at a hotel, and the two teenagers got one room with two queen-size beds. It's not the first time they've shared a room, so it really isn't that big a deal. And Eric says that it's safer for a girl who's staying so far away from home; he obviously doesn't know about the years of training she received from multiple hunters.
The brunette leaves their room after Eric does — as he had to attend a convention for the store that he and his dad run together — and she sees him as he walks over to the bar where there's a pretty bartender with short, red hair. "Hi." He greets with a smile.
"Hi."
"My name's Dylan Hightower, I'm the C.E.O. of a mid-sized venture-capital group. You might look for me on the cover of next month's Forbes, it'll look something like this." His face turns serious as he points forward, imitating the poses he's seen on the magazine, and she laughs.
"You're just out of high school, you work for your Daddy, this is your first convention, and your chaperone's right behind you." She tells him, and Letty laughs as she walks up beside him. "Now what's your real name?"
