He got out one of his midi-sized suitcases and set it on the bed to start packing clothes into it.
He put as much as he thought he would need, ensuring to leave space for the suits when they arrived.
After he was done, he called Viktor to inquire about their travel logistics.
”I've informed the pilot sir, the jet would be ready for the trip tomorrow,” the security guard assured him.
While Edward was still on the phone with him, there was a small knock on the door and Greta's voice announcing the arrival of his suits.
With the phone still placed against his ear, Edward moved to the door to retrieve the package from her hand.
He nodded his thanks and without first assessing the package, dropped it into the box along with the rest of his apparel.
”...need to pick up my secretary first before coming here,” Edward informed Viktor so the driver was told.
”Yes, sir.”
”Please do not be late.”
”We won't.”
Edward dropped the phone immediately the call was cut and zipped the bag closed. He moved the bag to his door so that his bed was free for him to sleep. That night, Edward dreamed of Amy.

The next morning, Edward was up before sunrise and set to leave. He called one of the doormen to have his suitcase taken downstairs while he went down to the dining to have breakfast.
It was while he was eating that Viktor arrived with Holly in tow.
”Good morning sir,” the burly guard greeted with his signatory nod.
”Good morning, sir,” Holly's contralto came afterward as she waltzed into the kitchen dressed no differently than when she was going to work.
Edward eyed her pencil mouth stilettos as he took a sip of his tea, wondering if that was the best choice of footwear for a flight. He responded to her greeting then offered her a seat at his table.
”Would you like anything to eat?”
Holly shook her head, no, at the offer. ”I'm good, thanks.”
Edward nodded, pleased because he was already done and didn't think he could waste another minute waiting for her to finish eating. He wiped off his mouth with the napkin then stood up to leave.
”Viktor!” He called out to the guard who had slinked into the kitchen at some point.
”Sir!”
”We are leaving.”
The trio, with Holly leading in her slow stylized walk, moved to the car against which the driver leaned on.
Immediately he saw them, the man who'd been driving Edward for nothing more than a year moved to help his boss's guard with the bag he was carrying.
He nodded his greeting to Edward, the only person amongst the group he hadn't yet seen.
