Daniel chimed in, “Hey, it’s your first tin Capital City, right? C'mon, letshow you around. My treat! It'll be a blast, and you'll get the lay of the land.” “Thanks, but we've already booked a hotel. We appreciate the offor though,” Anthea declined graciously.
Sherman spoke up with a casual air, “Our driver's here to pick us up. Ms. Yeager, if you don’t mind, we could give you a lift.” As he finished speaking, a sleek stretch limousine pulled up in front of them.

“We're staying at Signature Silhouette Hotels, on 1788 Bayside Road.” “Alright,” Sherman nodded slightly, then instructed the driver to head for the hotel.
The driver, too, was a little taken aback, his eyes darting to the rear-view mirror more than necessary.

Did he look that intimidating? Daniel chimed in “How long will you be in Capital City, Anthea? Maybe we can all grab a meal together?” Sherman interjected smoothly, “Ms. Yeager still owesa dinner. Would you still be around next Saturday?”
“How about Saturday evening?” Anthea replied with a light tore, though internally she felt like she had just shot herself in the foot.
“So, it's settled then,” Sherman said, twirling his cross pendant . We'll hash out the details on Facebook” “Okay” Anthea nodded slightly.
