Realizations

When Jack realized which hotel Anna was staying at, he stopped. “Anna! Why on earth are you staying there?”
“What? What’s wrong with it?” But then Anna finally looked at her hotel which looked twenty times worse than her own room & 100 times worse than it looked last night.
“Oh..it didn’t look that way last..” her voice trailed off in confusion. Jack still couldn’t figure out what happened to her. The whole Lance ordeal she said had happened years ago, so what happened last night? Why didn’t she know what city she was in? Why was last night such a blur?
“Hey, mind if I come in for a min & meet your family?” Anna almost got sick at the word family. There was the technical definition & then there was the real people you consider family to whom you’re nowhere near blood related.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she replied.
Jack chuckled “Would they not approve of me?”
Anna didn’t smile, “They’re not here to approve.”
“Well when will they be getting back?” Jack said not understanding.
“Never.”
