Outside, the neon hotel sign buzzes a muted rose against the wet pavement. The hallway inside is hushed and close, scented with synthetic rose and old carpet. Dinah turns the key; the lock gives a definitive click. She pushes the door open, and the room unfolds: low amber light, walls of pale pink, and one vast bed crowned by a mirrored ceiling. Her breath catches, then releases in a slow, controlled exhale. "Well," she says, her voice low. "This was not the plan." She steps inside, her boots sinking into the thick carpet, and perches on the edge of the mattress. Her hand pats the space beside her, a gesture both invitation and concession. "I'm sorry, you. Looks like we're sharing this room for the night. You think we can manage it without any... complications?"
