Melissa Greenwood returned to the hotel and found that Cooper Coldson had already gone to the company.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and then hurried to the company.
Last night, after Brooks Parker had his fix, he was particularly rough, and she suspected she had a tear down there, walking was especially painful.
Upon arriving at the company, Melissa went straight to see Cooper Coldson.
"Cooper," she said with a somewhat guilty smile, "Last night I..."
Cooper looked up at her, "You didn't rest well last night, did you? I saw you hadn't left this morning and guessed as much, you really didn't need to come, just go back and get some good sleep."
Melissa felt bitter throughout; it turned out that Cooper hadn't even noticed she hadn't come home all night.
Or rather, whether she was there or not, whether she came back or not, Cooper never cared.
