Ariana snapped back to her senses, looked around the flooded room in alarm, and shouted, "My luggage!"

“Don't worry. It's here." The forewoman quickly wheeled out her suitcase and explained, “I took the liberty of packing your things when the pipe was broken. I'm afraid you'll have to share a room with your husband for the night..."

Ariana gritted her teeth in frustration. She gazed around at her situation, at a loss. How ridiculous!

“You are a couple. Staying together shouldn't be a problem, right?" the forewoman added quickly when she saw the unwillingness on Ariana's face. She was trying desperately to alleviate the situation.

Ariana clenched her fingers irritably. She didn't want to go anywhere near Theodore, let alone stay with him. But now she had nowhere else to go.
