to scare her away.
Cameron cleared his throat. "Are you ready?"
"Oh yeah, I'm starving!" She walked over to him, and hooked her arm into his. "Let's go taste the town."
Cameron laughed as he escorted her to the elevator and down to the car. He had never seen Madison so carefree and jovial; except when she was drunk, of course, and there wasn't much he remembered about that night.
Dinner went well, but Cameron kept insisting that though it was a well-known restaurant in Indy, it had nothing on The TigerLily. That made Madison blush, even as she protested that the food was delicious. Deep down though, she kept thinking about what would make each dish taste better.
After their meal, they headed to the Indianapolis Canal walk, then over to Circle Center Mall and Union Station. It was a beautiful night as they walked arm in arm, taking in the charming downtown shops. People were sitting on benches alongside the canal, and some were travelling down the water in gondolas.
Cameron looked over at Madison and even by the streetlight, he could tell that she was starting to look better. He still needed to feed her, get her weight back up, but that wasn't something that could happen overnight.
As they headed back to their downtown hotel, neither one could fight off their yawns. It had been such a long day for both of them, and their previous exhaustion did nothing to help the matter.
Back at the hotel, Cameron walked Madison to her bedroom door and took her hand in his. He brought it up to his mouth where he kissed it gently. After he lowered her hand, he didn't let go as he looked into her eyes. "Thank you so much for coming, Madison. I really missed you."
"I missed you too," she whispered, startled, but a bit turned on by the intense look in his eyes. "Thank you for tonight, it was perfect," she told him, kissing his cheek, then closing her door behind her before anything happened.
Cameron sighed as he made his way to his room. He most definitely needed a cold shower before he'd be able to sleep.
The next morning, Madison woke up feeling better than she had in a long time. After she showered, she changed into jeans and a red button up shirt that accented her curves. When she left her room, she was surprised to see that Cameron was up and dressed already. He was sitting on the couch, reading the morning newspaper.
"Cameron Rome reads the newspaper?" she noted. "What would your fans think?" She moved closer. "And it's even the 'World and Politics' section!" She had to admit that she was impressed.
Cameron looked back at her and smiled. In an instant, his arm snaked around her waist and puller her over the couch onto his lap. The newspaper was forgotten as he started to tickle her.
A knock at the door stopped them both in their tracks. Cameron stood up, effectively dropping Madison to the floor. He looked down at her and laughed. "Breakfast is here, do you want to get up for that, or should I feed you on the floor?" he joked as he went to open the door.
"Rock stars," Madison groaned as she pulled herself from the floor, straightening her clothes and hair. She watched as a small man rolled a large cart into their room, leaving it next to the dining table. Cameron handed the man a tip and told him he could take it from there. Madison went to help Cameron unload the cart, amazed to see all the food he'd ordered. "Are you expecting guests for breakfast?"
"Nope, just me and you," he said, looking over all the food. He pulled a chair out for Madison. "Dig in," he told her as he sat down and started to take some food. His plate was overflowing by the time he was done.
Madison started to take some small portions of a few dishes, but after seeing how much Cameron was taking, and hearing her stomach rumble yet again, she added more. She decided to start with the blueberry pancakes, making sure she would definitely be able to eat them, and not be too full if she saved them for last.
Cameron looked up at her as she ate, pleased that she was eating the way she was, and by how her eyes now had their shine back. "I thought we'd go shopping this morning before we leave for the venue. Sound good to you?" he asked between
