Mable was still awake in bed, but she wasn't happy about it.
In the bed next to her, Edmund was out like a light. He smelled of alcohol, but at least he'd bathed right away. Mable hadn't bothered to ask him what he'd been doing, not wanting to argue again with the boy. When he went to bed, so did she, and that was forever ago.
She was bored.
The noise of something tapping against the hotel room window had the girls heartbeat skyrocketing. What in the world could that be? A tree, or a bush branch brushing too close? But there was nothing like that near the hotel, so... was it a person?
Curiosity drew Mable from her bed and to the window, peaking through the curtains and searching the streets outside when she saw -
Edward!
The girl's eyes widened and she waved to get his attention before struggling to get the window open. She leaned out, whisper yelling to her friend, "hello Edward! What are you doing out here so late? Is everything okay?"
