Oliver sat quietly, driving his black Audi through the streets of Denver. He wasn’t sure what to say to his sister who sat beside him. His fingers tapped on the steering wheel to the beat of the music that was playing in the background. He turned down a street towards the hotel where their father was staying, and finally pulled into the carpark outside. They were very early for lunch, and at the complete wrong place for it but Oliver thought it was a good idea to surprise their father, Harley. He’d offered to meet them at the restaurant across town, but what he didn’t know was that for Oliver and Riss to get there, they had to pass the hotel. “It just makes more sense to pick him. Dad’s just being stubborn and not wanting to put us out by stopping here for him.” He shrugged his shoulders. Oliver took the keys from the ignition and stepped out of the car, walking around to Marissa. He placed a hand on both shoulders, and bent down slightly. “We walk through that door, have a cup of tea or coffee in there to test the waters. And, if you’re uncomfortable, I’ll drive you home myself. You got this, Riss, and I’m so happy that you’re here.” He smiled sincerely at her, then looked to the door of the hotel, then back to her. “But, if you want to bail right now, I won’t be mad.”
