“Your turn,” said Georgia.
“What about Yvette?” asked Tanis.
“She’s not back yet,” said Georgia, “It’s better if you just go, so that we have more time to say a proper goodbye.”
“Ok,” said Tanis. When the bathroom door closed the room door opened.
“Ok,” said Yvette, “The boys aren’t up but I told Alan the plan and he said he’d get them on their feet.”
“So they’re up for going to the diner?” said Georgia.
“Yeah,” said Yvette, “One-hundred percent.”
“Cool,” said Georgia. After Tanis finished her shower, Yvette took her turn. The girls were cleaned and readied by 9:22am. They didn’t have to ransack the room, making sure they didn’t leave anything. They didn’t use the room for anything but sleeping. Tanis was the last one through the door. She stuck her foot out to keep the door from closing. She took one last look at the room then moved her foot. Yvette went toward her car. Georgia went to the next room and knocked on the door. Diane was first to the door.
“Hey, Gigi,” said Diane.

“Diane,” said Yvette, “Who has the key for 107?”
“I left it with Patrick,” said Diane.

“Yep,” said Diane.
“Good,” said Yvette, “Just wanna make sure cuz tomorrow we’ll all be a long way from here or headed in that direction.”
“Yes indeed,” said Diane.
