“ ––––– did you manage to get any SLEEP during that bus ride ? i got about five minutes worth and i feel like i broke my neck. ” esme wasted no time as she chatted up the person next to her with a warm smile, refusing to let the news of the vehicle’s mechanical issues bring her mood down. as off putting as the hotel that LOOMED in front of them seemed, the promise that it was only going to be their stop for a night brought her at least a GLIMMER of peace. still, esme was hesitant about walking in on her own to collect the room keys the travel agent said would be waiting for them at the front desk. “ wanna walk in and get our keys together ? we can even be ROOMMATES for tonight if you don’t have anyone else in mind. i don’t snore or anything like that, so it shouldn’t be too awful. ” the girl offered, finally tearing her gaze away from the hotel and towards whoever she’d just BLINDLY offered her companionship to in an attempt to not have to face the front desk by herself.
