I set e around in the minibar I'd make myself a drink and then I would retire to my rooot back

I took the drink intosoak in the tub would ease away my tension and put me back on an even keel I wasn't the type of wo the way Noah kept co to put on the Noah Negative List

I filled the tub putting in some of the bubble bath that the hotel offered I undressed and cli down into the bubbles I was able to enjoy it for about ten minutes but then the quiet and the stillness started to irritatebaths or idleness I was a doer

I reached to the side of the tub to grab himportant that I needed to address Then I realized I left my phone back in the main area of the suite "Dammit"

I reoal of this bath was to relax and wash away Noah from my mind, if not fros, but of course that was nearly impossible

"You knoill, Margaret"

I hung up the phone and looked out theat the unrest below I didn’t et back here safely
