Julia struggled to swipe the card at the door. Marie, limp as a ragdoll, hung heavily on her, and just as she reached out, Marie nearly slipped to the floor.

Julia caught her with both arms in a panic.

The hotel attendant, seeing their room was 808, used a master card to unlock the door for her.

“Thanks,” Julia muttered.

“Would you like help getting her inside?”

“I’ve got it. Go on,” she said, waving him off.

She hauled Marie in and let the door shut behind them. The city lights filtered through the windows, keeping the room from being completely dark. Without bothering to turn on the lights, Julia dumped Marie onto the bed.

On the phone, someone snapped, “Julia, have you left yet?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m going now,” she replied, breathless. God, this was exhausting. Drunks were such a pain. She pulled the blanket up over Marie and headed back out.

As she passed the bathroom, she didn’t notice someone inside.
