The snowfall intensified, yet they persevered.

Edwin patted her back and engaged in conversation with the receptionist.
âSir, thereâs only one single bed room available.
All other rooms have been reserved,â the receptionist conveyed.
Edwinâs brows furrowed.
He cast a brief look in Lauraâs direction.

Thatâs very convenient! Lina thought.
Refraining from pressing the matter further, Lina didnât wish to add to Lauraâs troubles.
Instead, she advised Laura to return early the following morning and noted that it was fortuitous that Peter had become inebriated, preventing a potential uproar that evening.
Laura responded with a soft hum.
After ending the call, she raised her gaze to find Edwin watching her in silence.
Remaining wordless, she approached the window, her attention fixed on the snowflakes outside.
Edwin poured a cup of water and handed it to her.
