Butch's [POV]
"What are you doing in the hallway?"
She flings open the door the panicked look on her face diminishing a little when she sees me.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I needed to get some things together for our sunrise hike and I forgot to take your key with me."
"Our what?" she says, squinting at me. "What time is it?"
"Four," I say, pushing myself off the wall. "And sunrise is in about an hour, so move your ass. We need to get to the peak by then."
She rubs her eyes and looks up at me again. "What peak? Are you drunk?"
"You said last night that you wanted to go for a real hike with me sometime." I push the boots into her chest. "Now is that time. Let's go. Get dressed in layers. It's a little cold right now, but it's supposed to get up to the eighties later today."
"Go away." She crawls back into bed and pulls the blanket over her head.
I whip it back down. "It's much too late to make me go away."
