His Mom smiled at him before she swung the car around and began to cruise down the winding driveway toward the main road at the end of it. "I'm going to book a room at the Hilton." Patricia told him. "I don't want you staying in one of those cheap places like a motel with things crawling in the bedding." As far as she was concerned only the best would do for him seeing as he had to leave his own home overnight.<br/><br/>As they reached the end entrance to their property she turned left and drove toward the city. "If there is anything you need we can pick it up at the mall before I get us checked in." She glanced at her son. "I bet you didn't even think to grab your toothbrush, comb or a change of clothes did you?" However her voice was not angry because she knew he wasn't used to such drastic things happening as the family had experienced that morning the head of house came home.
