Soleil and Gabriel come back, Soleil holding a plate of a pastry and eating it. They smile and run towards Adelaide, Juliet, and Persephone, offering them some. "Let's go." Gabriel leads the group.

"Where are we going?" Jonathon questions.

"Ms. Evermore. The lady we met at the cafe just texted me telling me she got us a hotel room. Three beds, two bathrooms, two couches. choose where you sleep."

"Knowing Soleil, they'll make me sleep on the bathroom floor." Harper whispers to himself, they all laugh having heard it. Soleil puts their arm around Harper; "Hey, you know I'm not that rude. I'll put you in the tub."

"Oh, goodness that's even better."

"Would you rather sleep in the basement of the hotel building?"

"Would you accompany me?"

"No."

"You're too kind."

"Thank you, I try."

All their phones ding and as everyone goes to reach for it, Jonathon stops them. "I thought we came here to forget about it for a while. If we look at our phones, it'll only make us feel worse."
