After another 30 min. of walking, Taylor almost fell asleep standing up. Even though he was 3 years old, he was quite small for his age. Anna picked him up in her arms and he fell asleep instantly on her shoulder. She carried his suitcase in her hands. After a while he got heavy, but Anna pressed on.

After what seemed an eternity, Anna started to recognize where she was. It wouldn’t be too long before she reached the hotel.

Once she got there, she immediately checked the time, it was 5:37 AM. She hurried up the stairs, and she paused once she got to her room. What was she supposed to tell Jack? All that secrecy about lunch and her past only to spill everything now? Well, she couldn’t just stand out here all night, so she got out her key and opened the door. Jack wasn’t in the bed. He must have gone out looking for me or something. Anna layed Taylor down on her side of the bed.
“Anna?”
She turned around startled as Jack walked out of the bathroom.
