Caden's expression was grim.

Alice felt a pang of guilt as she noticed this. Without realizing it, she had caused him deep frustration.

"Why don't we find the nearest hotel and get a room, so you can clean up?"

He looked at her with a frown. “Do you really expect me to get in a car and drive when I'm this dirty?”

Alicia didn't know what to say. She knew it was her fault. She wasn't in any position to argue, no matter how angry Caden got.

“Okay, how about I go get you some body soap?” she suggested. “I need to buy a few things anyway. “I can record whatever you need.”

Caden almost agreed when a thought struck him. His eyes darted to her bottom. “Are you wearing underwear?”

Alice blinked, visibly surprised. “No,” she replied, instinctively squeezing her legs together. “I was just about to buy something.”

Caden gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to let her walk around without underwear. He glanced toward the bathroom. For a moment, the only sound that filled the room was the steady dripping of the faucet.

"So, hand soap."

Alice awkwardly touched her nose. “I'm sorry.”

"If you're really sorry, you'd better start thinking about how to make it up to me."

She raised her head at that, but Caden had already disappeared into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Alicia laid down on the bed and pulled out her phone to text Monica, letting her know she was safe.

"I'll be there right now," Monica replied. "Which ward are you in?"
