Violeta rushed to the bathroom door and knocked anxiously. "Bro? Bro, what's going on?"

Violeta was stunned to hear Hayden's voice from the bathroom.

"Hayden? Why are you here? Isn't this Niall's room?"

Just as Violeta was trying to make sense of it all, Hayden's voice came from inside again. "I swapped rooms with him today."

Hayden closed his eyes and leaned back on the bathtub pillow. "That water jug, weren't you worried there was something wrong with it?"

Violeta frowned. "How did you know? You didn't drink from that water jug, did you!?"
