The Love Trap
I knew I shouldn't think about it, but odd details kept resurfacing in my mind.
On the other hand, Howard and Hector behaved normally. They enjoyed the countdown event like the other patrons, so much so that they almost neglected me.
Finally, it was midnight, and the countdown had ended. We took a taxi back to the hotel. When we arrived, I suddenly remembered that Howard had only booked one room.
At that thought, I asked him about it. He nodded and looked at me apologetically.
"I didn't know the rooms would run out so fast, babe. When I booked the room, only one suite was left. But it's fine. The suite has two bedrooms. I'll share one with Hector, and you take the other."
