After leaving Dustin's room overwhelmed with the drama that just took place.
I took a deep breath and headed back to my own room seeking solace.

As I closed the door, a mix of relief and uncertainty washed over me.
Questions swirled in my mind
What really happened last night?
And why did Dustin let the manager assume we were married instead of telling him the truth?
