Keira twitched her lips slightly, eventually standing up alongside Lewis. The two of them completely ignored the knocking at the door, each heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. Once they were dressed, Lewis finally opened the door.

Erin was still persistently knocking. The moment the door swung open, she tried to push her way in.

Keira grabbed her arm without hesitation. "We'll talk in your room."

"What? Why my room?" Erin asked, though she let herself be dragged away.

Keira froze. She hadn't heard a thing.
