When Dean finally pulled over for the night, it was nearly ten, at a hotel almost half way home.
He grabbed only what he needed out of his car and checked in, going up to his room and collapsing onto the bed.

RR: Well, it's about time. You told me you'd stop at right.
DA: Yeah, well.
DA: I'll text you when I get on the road.
RR: Okay. Goodnight, Dean.

He closed the messages and was about to put down his phone when a text from Seth came through.

SR: Hey. You might still be driving. If you are, don't look at this, I guess...
DA: It's fine. I'm at a hotel.
SR: Oh. Good.
SR: Well, I just wanted to say I had a good time, today.
SR: And I'm really grateful to you for coming to the funeral.
DA: I'm glad I came, too.
DA: And I loved being able to wrestle with you.
SR: Me too. :) You're really good, y'know.
DA: You think so?
SR: Yeah. WWE would be lucky to have you.
SR: Speaking of which...
DA: Yeah?
SR: I told you if you were serious about this, I'd make sure you had an opening.
DA: Yeah...
SR: That offer still stands.
SR: When you're ready, you call me.
DA: Really?
SR: Of course, Dean.
SR: I promised, and I think you have enough potential.
DA: Thank you so much, I...
DA: I can't wait.
SR: :)
SR: It's late. You should get some sleep.
DA: You too.
DA: Are you gonna be on RAW tomorrow?
SR: Yeah, I think so.
SR: Which means I gotta get up early tomorrow.
DA: That sucks.
SR: A little. :)
SR: I'll talk to you later, okay? We both need sleep.
DA: Okay...
DA: Goodnight.
SR: Goodnight, Dean. :)
Dean put his phone down on the table, sighing. He still couldn't believe he had an opportunity to work in WWE. He just had to keep working, harder than ever. He wanted it so bad.
Rolling on his side, he turned off the lamp. He was asleep in minutes.
