Vegas, querida. Vegas!

Marcelo noticed that everything going on recently was starting to wear on Stephanie. Particularly the fear Vargas brought with him. As concerned as he was about being on a hit list, Marcelo was more concerned about Stephanie falling apart. They needed to get away. After some finagling Marcelo worked out a way for the two of them to spend a weekend in Las Vegas.

He did need to take his father to see the Veridian Dynamics' diamond growing lab, but from there, he and Stephanie could fly to the arid, dry climate he was going to only for her. He booked a Prestige Fortuna Suite at The Palazzo and put on as many extras as he thought Stephanie would enjoy.

It was a spur of the moment trip, so he figured they would be relatively safe. That might get Stephanie to relax some. Marcelo left his Vesper gear at home. Even if he itched slightly to take it with them. Knowing his luck, his father would find it during their stopover, and Marcelo did not want to have to do a lot of explaining.

"I knew that man would come in handy for something. Or at least, he had better prove useful." She was smiling, though, so the threat wasn't dire. Yet. She would be bitterly disappointed if she didn't get the table, though. Since it'd been a private vacation, she didn't have direct access to Reginald, her usual assistant.

"All in all, I think this is looking like a promising beginning to a weekend of indulgence." Once she had dried herself off, she started gathering clothes to wear. "Seems almost silly to be putting clothes on at this point, but I imagine they would not look kindly upon us going there naked."

"Some would frown, no doubt. I'm sure some of those ladies would be quite happy to see it, though." Stephanie smirked. "Not that I care to give them a chance. You're all mine." She assumed from the lack of sound that he was doing something special, though it would be unsporting to inquire further or tease him about it.

It also presented a rather nice view, that she spent a little time admiring as she slipped on an appropriate red dress.

"Naturally." Stephanie replied. "You should probably get dressed." She almost sounded disappointed at the thought.

"Mmhm. I suppose so." Stephanie smirked as he posed for inspection. Impulsively, she pulled him in for a kiss, interrupted only by the concierge calling.

"He had better have got us a table. Either that or I'll have to express my signal displeasure." She might have smiled like it was a joke, but Stephanie Shaw's displeasure was a thing better avoided. "I wonder if we'll make some sort of ridiculous headline for going to Vegas. Or has Miss Report grown bored of us?"
