“Good afternoon, sir! Welcome to the Grand Springs Hotel.” Charlie
Putnam smiled at the elderly man who was heading for the front
desk. He imagined this was Dr. Eggleman from Sacramento who
was arriving in to give a guest class at the birthing center.
Everyone was very excited.
“Hey there. Beautiful lobby. I remember it being a touch…shabbier.”
“Mr. Harlan has been renovating, but do you remember the chandelier?
It’s been hanging here for eons.” And it took a week—a full week and
professionals—to clean. The huge damn thing was a joy to look at, though,
and it was gloriously tentacular.
“I do, actually. It looks pretty grand now. Dr. John Eggleman. Checking
in.”
“Dr. Eggleman. You’re on the first floor. It’s a lovely room with an
amazing view of the river. I just need a signature and a card for extras. The
room has been paid for.” He pushed the printed signature paper across the
desk to the doctor, then grabbed his credit card to open the deposit.
“Thank you. Is the restaurant here good?” Eggleman asked.
“It’s exceptional. Our head chef, Bridget, is amazing. She focuses on
Colorado-based cuisine, and she makes an elk burger to die for. It’s my
absolute favorite.” Charlie loved it, and the breakfast oatmeal with the
blueberries and pecans and chia seeds.
Weird, but true.
“Sounds wonderful. I know the clinic accoucheur is supposed to take
me to a place called Fuel for supper tomorrow, but I’m on my own this
evening, and if I don’t have to leave the hotel, I’ll be a happy old fart.”
“You can just come out and eat at the restaurant here. Would you like
me to make you a reservation so you don’t have to wait?” They didn’t often
have a huge waiting list, but there usually was a short one.
“I would love that.”
“What time do you prefer to eat?” He called up the dinner reservations
on the computer.
“Around six?”
“Perfect. I’ll make sure you aren’t waiting.” Not that he was going to be
here. He was off the clock at five.
“Thank you.”
“Would you like help with your bag?” Looked like the doc only had
one.
“No. No, I think I’ll be fine. I appreciate it.” The guy took his key and
headed off.
Lord have mercy. That man was a bundle of energy for being at least,
what? Sixty-five? Seventy? Whoa. Charlie grinned. He did love this job. It
was like that movie with Edward Norton; he got single-serve friends out of
it, without having to commit to being social.
He was too damn tired to make lots of friends. He had supper weekly
with Hank, to check on the ghost tours, see what the hotel could do to make
it easier. And Hank had always been so kind to him…
And Bridget had gotten him this job, so he hung out with her when he
got off work sometimes, having a beer at the bar.
Okay, he also could visit with Tim and Lukas at the tattoo studio below
his apartment whenever he wanted.
