Karina, lost in thought, jolted back to reality when she noticed him up and about. She quickly queried, "What are you up to?"

Pulling on his pants, Barlow responded with a teasing grin, "Heading to the restroom. Care to accompany me?"

Karina found herself speechless once more. She shot him an eye roll before turning to put away the glass.

Barlow's eyebrows Lifted in amusement. When she seemed unresponsive, he grabbed a cigarette pack and sauntered off to the restroom.

Being deprived of a smoke for a full day had left him restless.
