Jake and I were later enjoying our quiet suite when we heard loud footsteps. The door echoed with a knock. We were on the verge of losing our tranquility. Jake approached and carefully opened it. Only room service arrived, with an unanticipated free bottle of wine. With a breath of relief, we temporarily forgot about Karen’s situation. It wouldn’t be calm for long, though, since I knew a storm was building inside.

As we unwinded, the thought of Karen’s surprise kept playing with my head, but we felt secure in our little nook and hoped for a quiet night—for the time being, anyhow.
