==========
She had been as thorough with the hotel arrangements as anything else, and impressive with how she used her money: when I checked in I found out I was in a luxury suite. This told me something about her status: anyone who thinks of a luxury suite at a Hyatt Regency as “adequate” has a lot more money, and is used to spending a lot more money, than 99.9 percent of the population.
Before dropping me off Mitch told me to check in with the concierge desk, that they would have a rental car waiting for my use. He was as good as his word: they just asked for my license and for me to sign a few things, and handed me the keys to a black Cadillac El Dorado that was already in the hotel parking lot.
I had encountered serious money a few times in my life before, but this was impressive. She was obviously a person with serious resources. I found myself wondering how someone that young could possibly have so much cash. An heiress seemed the obvious possibility, although she didn’t seem to have much of the rich-brat attitude that some children of the wealthy are famous for.
May you both sell many copies of this outstanding book ;-)
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
