The bedroom was actually lovely, with a bed, a closet, a small vanity, and a large window overlooking a beautiful lake. “This is your room, and over there is the shared bathroom with the bathtub I promised,” he pointed toward another small door in the back. “Wait a moment—so to leave here, I have to…
