selling tablets and cell phones. “Who goes to the airport to buy a cell phone?” I think aloud. Jace shrugs. “Someone who lost their phone on vacation.”
    While Jace rents a car, I find a kiosk with tourist brochures and grab every one they have about the Grand Canyon. We’re visiting the South Rim, which as the brochures tell me, is the most popular part of the Canyon. I flip through information about helicopter tours (awesome!), white water rafting (hell no!), and hiking trails (maybe...). There are many hotels available and although I get a bit panicky trying to choose which one we should go to, it’s kind of fun having a vacation with no itinerary.
    “What if all of the hotels are booked up?” I ask as Jace loads our suitcases into the trunk of the rental car. The thought of being in the middle of nowhere without a place to stay is a little terrifying.
    “We’ll figure it out,” he says, sounding zero percent worried about the ordeal. On the plus side, it’s mid-August and that’s when most people are getting ready to go back to school or college. It’s not like it’s a busy tourist season, so hopefully we’ll be fine.
    Besides, I’m pretty sure I can get through any problem as long as I’m with Jace.
    Once we’re out of the busy airport parking lot, we pull over at a café that’s a combination diner and souvenir shop. From here, I spread out the hotel brochures that looked the coolest to me, and Jace and I pick a place to stay that has an onsite bowling alley and a game room.
    “Not that we’ll have any time to play arcade games,” Jace says with a wink. “If we’re at the hotel, I’ll be in bed, enjoying my wife.”
    “I dunno,” I say. “Playing some Skee-ball sounds like a lot more fun than hooking up all night…” Jace makes a pouty face and I grab the front of his shirt and pull him in for a kiss.
    We set the car’s GPS for our chosen hotel on the South Rim of the canyon and it calculates the route.
    “Three hours?” I burst out. “Are you kidding me? We just flew over that damn canyon, how it is so far away?”
    “Christopher mentioned that it was a long drive from the airport to the actual canyon,” Jace says. “I thought you heard that?”
    I shake my head and slip a pair of sunglasses over my eyes. “If I had known I’d be spending so much time in a car with you, maybe I would have opted out of this whole honeymoon thing.” I stick out my tongue and he gives me a smirk that’s so hot it makes my toes tingle.

Chapter 7
     
    After checking in our hotel, I’m exhausted from the drive. I lean against Jace while we wait in the elevator to take us up to our new hotel room. “It’s not that late,” I say, bursting into a yawn. “Why am I so tired?”
    “Traveling will do that to you. I’m tired, too.” He wraps an arm around my waist to support me, and soon we stop on the fifth floor.
    Now that we are finally near the Grand Canyon, I thought I’d be jumping up and down, begging to rush out to see it. But exhaustion has seeped into my bones and now the idea of falling onto a strange bed and sleeping for hours sounds like a dream come true.
    Our hotel room isn’t as fancy as the one in California, but it’s clean and it smells nice and that’s really all you need. I wanted to help Jace carry in our luggage, but once he opens the door with the little plastic key card, my body gets a mind of its own and walks straight to the bed, falling down on it, face first.
    I wake up from a weird dream where something keeps kicking my stomach. Of course, as I stretch and yawn in the unfamiliar bed, my dream fades away and I realize the kicking sensation came from the baby inside of me, not a dream. I look around for Jace and find him sleeping, fully-clothed and on top of the sheets, next to me.
    He looks so peaceful. It’s a shame I’m about to wake him up.
    “Hey.” I nudge him in the arm but it doesn’t do anything. “Jace,” I whisper-yell, snuggling closer to him as I
