Regret Came Too Late

The receptionist continued as she processed their check-in, "There was even a multiple-vehicle collision earlier. The roads will remain closed for the time being."

Grace glanced around the lobby. It was pretty warm and cozy. She could settle for the night in the lobby.

The receptionist seemed to know what she was going to say, and she sighed. "Ms. Lambert, there might even be power outages at night these few days. The temperature in the lobby is definitely going to dip below freezing.

"There's an old type of fireplace in the room that uses wood. It'll be warm."

Now that she had gotten to this point, if Grace remained adamant about refusing to use the room, it would be an insult to Ethan

She snuck a glance at Ethan. He was sitting in the wheelchair, his head slightly tilted, and he looked like he had not noticed everything happening.

She quickly went to push his wheelchair. "Alright. Thanks. We'll be on our way up, then."

When they got into the room, she realized that it was only about 600 square feet. Other than a fireplace, it had only a chair and a bed.

The bathroom was also tiny, measuring only about 21 square feet.

Out of nowhere, she recalled the time she was on the island with Ethan. The bathroom back then was also as tiny as this one, where their shoulders were touching each other's when they washed their hands.

Back on the island, Ethan...

She could not help but remember him losing control. Quickly, she brushed the thoughts aside.

"Mr. Henderson, would you like to wash up first? I'll let my boyfriend know I'm safe."

She walked over to the only chair and took a seat.

The chair was pathetically tiny. Although she had initially wanted to spend the night in it, that seemed impossible now.

Ethan got up slowly, holding onto the wall, looking like he wanted to go to the bathroom.

But he was in an unstable position. He had only taken one step before he stopped for a moment with a frown on his face.
