In the morning…
Lola snapped her eyes open and sat up unceremoniously. She blinked several times, her mouth falling open in shock. Unlike usual, she didn't even check the empty side of the bed. Instead, she reached for her laptop and hurriedly switched it on.
"Come on…" she muttered impatiently. "Damn it!"
The moment the laptop finished booting, she immediately opened the files related to her investigation of her pregnancy. She checked one particular folder — the motel — and within it, a photo of the hallway caught her eye.
"310, 309… 308…" she read the room numbers aloud, studying their arrangement along the corridor. "306."
Lola zoomed in on the photo and examined the room numbers again. Her breath hitched when she stopped at the room directly across from 306.
"This… wasn't the room number I saw when I left that morning," she muttered, moving the zoomed-in photo until it aligned with the room number she remembered as she walked out.
