Mable didn't know what to say to Edward's suggestion about shortcuts.  She knew the way too, but not what the place was called.  The sign was in curly letters she couldn't read!  So she just nodded and kept walking.

"Okay... come inside," she said, walking to the doors and heaving them open.  She held it for Edward, feeling proud of herself for doing so and followed him inside.

"This is the main room, the - the lobby, but I don't stay here very long.  Only my brother talks to the people behind that counter, they scare me a bit.  But my room is down here, follow me!"

She took Edward's hand to lead him down a hall to their right, running past quite a few doors before stopping at one, almost at random.  "This is it, so I'll show you inside.  Um... take off your shoes, I suppose.  I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have friends over or not, but I'm sure it's fine as long as we don't make a mess!"

With that, Mable turned the knob and swung the door open, holding it again and following her friend inside, hands behind her back as if he would judge the décor, as if she'd be scolded for it, as if had any choice in that matter.
