When Joe walked out of the hotel the next morning, he knew he was a sight. His coat was slung over his shoulder, shirt and trousers were wrinkled beyond repair. He probably had some make-up on his face that didn't completely wash off and his hair looked like it had been struck by lightning. The smug grin on his face made the assumption all the worse, but he didn't care.
His future looked a whole lot more exciting and as he hustled for home and some breakfast, he made a decision.

As she brushed her hair out, the music from her phone changed to "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" and the song now had a much more intimate meaning. Chuckling to herself she started singing along.
