What a day! After hours of driving, we finally pulled into a hotel late at night, desperate for a room. The light outside was blaring, shining in like it was noon and those curtains were just not doing their job. But honestly, we were too wiped out to think about finding another place, so we just signed in and crashed. With the curtain drawn, it wasn’t too bad, and before long, we were both out like lights.

I have no clue how much time passed, but I woke up to the sound of cars in the parking lot. I made my way to the bathroom, and on my way back, I couldn’t help myself—I peeked out the window and opened the drapes just a bit. That security light was a killer, casting a beam across the bed where Sam was sprawled out, still deep in dreamland. It was like a sign from the universe, and I couldn’t resist the urge for a little fun. I quickly shut the drapes again, then tiptoed over to the bed. With a teasing grin, I pulled the covers off Sam, who was, of course, completely naked as usual. What a night!
