Chapter One
âIâm sorry, we donât have any messages for you, Ms. Daniels. I promise to put any calls or other communications through to your room at once. Is there anything else I can do for you?â The desk clerk at the Brown Palace Hotel smiled as she spoke, as if she really was concerned that Andi have everything she needed.
âNo. Thank you.â Andi tried to return the smile, but it wasnât something she was used to doing anymore. The past year hadnât given her much to smile about.
âDid you enjoy your visit to our spa this morning?â the clerk asked, after a quick glance at her computer screen, which no doubt showed every spa treatment, room service meal and other amenity Andi had enjoyed during her stay at one of Denverâs oldest luxury hotels.
âYes, it was lovely.â Everything about the Brown Palace was lovely, from the richly patterned carpet beneath her feet to the stained-glass skylights in the main lobby. Towering fresh flower arrangements and elegant artwork shared space with photographs of the many celebrated personages who had stayed at the hotel, from the Beatles to US presidents. But none of it impressed Andi. For one thing, she had seen it all too many times before, when she stayed here with her father, Senator Pete Matheson.
That seemed a lifetime ago. Now all of thisâthe opulence and grand sense of historyâwasnât her world anymore. She craved simplicity over elegance, reality more than comfort. This felt so phony.
âIf you need anything at all, please let me know, Ms. Daniels,â the clerk said.
Andi nodded and turned from the desk. Her name wasnât even Danielsâit was Matheson. But Daniel Metwater had thought it amusing to register her under a variant of his Christian name when he had brought her here three days ago. He was supposed to have contacted her before now, to let her know he was coming to get her and take her home.
