Setting his phone down, Timothy turned to Ginger, unable to resist lightly poking her round face. “What’s your mommy’s name?”
“Mister, my mom says I can’t just tell anyone her name or her phone number.”
Timothy raised an eyebrow. “And why’s that?”
“Because she has too many admirers: Mommy doesn’t want to be disturbed.”
Upon hearing this, Timothy’s impression of Ginger’s mother shifted negatively. She seemed to be a woman who enjoyed dating around.

“I’m Ginger, four years old, and I’m a Taurus. My favorite foods include ice cream, fruit candies. marshmallows, fudge, chocolate, and tiramisu!” Ginger replied, barely pausing for breath.

Ginger couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “My mommy says it’s not safe to be too honest outside, or bad people might snatch you!”
“Your mommy taught you that?”
“Not exactly. My mommy always taught me to tell the truth. I just sort of figured this out on my own. When I talk silly, it confuses the bad guys, like on TV.”
Timothy couldn’t suppress a chuckle: Ginger seemed quite intriguing.
He glanced at Heath. “Could you arrange for the hotel to send some food up? Oh, and some extra snacks
too.”
Ginger’s eyes brightened, and she spoke in a sweet tone. “Thank you, kind mister, my tummy happens to
be hungry.”
Before long, a hotel staff member rolled a small cart over, filled with snacks that children enjoyed.
