For sreason, I seemed to have forgotten to bring towels, and the ones I was given here were smaller than I needed. Maybe I should have emphasized that I didn't want a face towel? Faced with limited options, I opted to utilize the diminutive cloth only for my hair. After all, I was the only one occupying the space, which givesme the luxury of air-drying the rest of my body without concern.
I padded across the carpet, my bare feet sinking into its soft fibers as I positioned myself in front of the mirror standing by the wall.
I'd resumed my task of methodically working the towel through my hair and watching the unruly strands gradually settle into place when my eyes inadvertently drifted from the mirror to something off on the wall at the room's furthest end.

I froze as I caught a glimpse of someone before the door was immediately shut close without a slam.
I blinked at the closed door wondering if I had just made up what I would like to see. But I didn't. Anastasia just opened that door and saw me.
I walked away from the mirror and hurried to the door. felt mischievous as I pressed my ear to it and listened intently, I couldn't help the smile that my lips stretched into as I heard the harsh sound of things scrapping a surface.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI watched the phone ring as I mulled over the idea of not picking up the call. But just as that thought crossed my mind, the call ended. My phone's screen had barely turned off when it lit up again and started to ring.
