Right. Bye," as he set it back on the desk. Conversion? What the hell..?
The smell of the food was almost overpowering. Cade decided he could wonder
about things as he ate and headed for the food cart. Most of the way through the
vegetables and the second of the huge steaks, he paused to set aside about a
regular meal's worth of food, then continued eating.
When nothing was left but the food he'd set aside, Cade took the knife and
fork to the sink to wash them and put them by the tray, then put the lid back on
it and went to brush his teeth and comb his hair.
The vague trembling had left him and he felt a lot better, but Cade still
felt a bit disoriented and confused. Between the soup and the steaks he'd put
away enough food for half a dozen people, but he didn't feel as if he'd had more
than an average meal. In fact, just thinking about that last bit of steak in the
other room made him wonder if Mandi could make do with an apology and a late
dinner after her show.
The room's hallway door opened and Mandi said, "Thanks for remembering to
tell the desk to give me a room card."
Moving to join her in the main room, Cade asked, "After last night, how
could I forget?" Indicating the covered tray, he said, "I saved you some dinner,
as requested.
