The Beast of Bray Road, part 3
James is grateful when they finally make it up to their room. It hasn't been particularly strenuous as missions go, but it's his first time in the field in decades, and that has him more than a bit worn out. All he wants to do after a few hours of tromping through the woods is to rest and, of course, enjoy some time in Helen's company.
Stowing their bags, he heads over to the fireplace and builds an enormous fire, letting her have first dibs on the shower. While she's gone, he orders room-service: cocoa and pastries, along with a bottle of brandy for them to enjoy.
