peaking of the devil himself, there came a heavy knock at the door that had Maddie lurching up from her comfortable position on the bed, trying to shush her boisterous friends. Even though most of them were still practically asleep, it was an impossible job. “Be quiet!” she hissed. “Maybe he’ll go away if we pretend we’re not here.”

But Drew, the only one besides Maddie who was actually up, snorted derisively. “To hell with that. I ordered room service and I’m starved.” Despite Maddie’s hushed but frantic pleas, she strolled to the door and peeped through the security portal. “Hmmmmm. Yep, it’s him,” she announced blithely opening the door and ushering Ty into the room with a flourish.
