GoodReadChapter 103 I shot a quick look at Hayden, then turned to Demi, "You're just talking crazy 'cause you're wiped out." "I'm not talking crazy. You two are total workaholics. I feel like I can't keep up anymore," Demi mumbled, slumping into the car seat.
"Whether you can or not, you gotta hang in there. We're almost done," I said, trying to sound reassuring. Earlier today, I scoped out what still needed fixing. At the pace we're going, we should wrap this up in about ten days.

"About ten days," I said after sneaking another glance at Hayden through the rearview mirror.
"Ten days..." Demi groaned, her voice dripping with defeat.
By the twe got to the hotel, Demi was out cold. I called her na few times, but she was in dreamland. Finally, I leaned in close and whispered, "If you don't get up, I'll make Hayden carry you." "Fine, carry me," Demi mumbled, holding out her hand. I couldn't help but laugh and gave her a gentle tug. "Con, let's move it." Demi, barely awake, letguide her into the elevator and up to our floor. Just as we got to our rooms, Hayden, who'd been dead silent the whole ride, finally spoke up. "Keira, I need to talk to you." My heart did a weird flip when he used my first name. "Okay." Too exhausted to care, Demi shuffled into her room without a second thought. I turned back to Hayden. What's up?" "I talked to the company. I'm staying to finish the job," Hayden said, and all I could muster was an "Oh." I wasn't surprised at all. If he left, I would've bailed too.
Sure, the amusement park's lighting could technically go on without us, but there was no way they'd hit the deadline. And honestly, the quality would probably tank without our touch.
Besides, I've got this sneaky feeling that Jace still didn't wantquitting. The fact that he hadn't pushed Hayden's company to send in a replacement kinda showed he was scared I might actually walk out. "Okay," I replied, keeping it short.

"Yeah, I admitted, not even trying to play it cool.
He nodded. "We can speed things up a bit more." ""Huh?" I was confused.
Speeding up would mean more overtime, and while Hayden and I could probably handle it, I wasn't sure Demi could. Chapter 103 +25 BONUS "No need for extra hours. We'll stick to our schedule and still finish ahead of time," Hayden explained, makinglaugh. "Are you serious?" "Dead serious," Hayden said, his face just as serious.
I pressed my lips together. "There's no need. Finishing on tis good enough." "You wanna leave, right? Let's finish early so you can bounce sooner," Hayden's words hitlike a ton of bricks.
But I quickly shot back, "No need. Even if we finish early, I'm not leaving until the whole park passes inspection and even opens to the public."
