"Thank you" Carly says softly and walks to the elevator and climbs in pressing the 3.
A few minutes pass and the elevator comes to a stop, Carly climbs out and Immediately finds her room . She swipes her card and the small light turns green.
Walking in Carly let's out a content sigh and lays down on the bed feeling for once in a long time peace wash over her.
Carly kicked off her shoes and climbs under the covers plugs her phone in and sets an alarm for 9:15am to be up and ready for church at 10.
~next morning at 9:15am~
The alarm sounds awaking Carly from her wonderful sleep. Sitting up Carly yawns and goes over to her suitcase and picks out a beautiful black top and the skirt her and Melany together years back that matched!
Smiling Carly jumped in the shower washing her hair and body, before climbing out drying off and changing into her outfit, looking in the mirror Carly finally for once feels like herself and feels the most comfortable she's felt in the past year!
Smiling she combs her hair and gathers her stuff and heads downstairs and goes to the front desk.
"Morning!" The sweet old lady says
"Morning I was wondering if I could do a late check out I have church and I don't have a car at the moment can I come back around 2 or so and collect my things and if I have to pay an extra night I don't mind to"
