Aren and Lisa stood outside the hotel as Kendrick and Corbin took off after dropping them.
After a few moments of awkward silence, Aren turned to Lisa and smiled as he suggested: "Let's get you a room first."
However, as he turned to walk, Lisa tugged at his white shirt, pulling gently as she said: "Wait."
Aren halted, feeling puzzled.
He turned to look at her, finding her pressing her lips in hesitation.
"Um..." She spoke softly: "Can't I stay in your room? I'm afraid to be alone."
Aren didn't know what the right thing to do was.
It was true she had been in a terrible situation just a few hours ago.
It was natural to be scared, and he didn't want to sadden her by saying no.
He remained silent for a few moments and then said awkwardly: "But my room has only one bed."
"No problem." Lisa smiled pleasantly. "It's even better that way. I will feel safer with you by my side."
