The drive to Arcane was not too long. Meghan slept on Anaya's lap and Khai sat in the front passenger seat. He turned his face to look out the window, but in truth he just looked at Anaya from the mirror. She seemed to be fighting sleep, letting out soft yawns every few minutes.
George parked his car and picked up Meghan in his arms again. "I'm going to take her back to my room tonight. I'm sure hers is a complete mess." He told Anaya. Then looking at Khai, he asked "Do you mind walking her back?"
Khai's heart was leaping, but he adopted a serious look as he nodded to George.
"Goodnight Georgie" Anaya smiled.
"Text me when you reach your room. I'll blast your phone if I don't hear from you in ten minutes Ana, I mean it."
As they walked back towards her room, Khai searched for ways to extend their time together. "Are you hungry?"
In truth, Anaya was a little hungry, but she did not want him to think she had an inordinate appetite. Khai, however, was quick to read her.
