Room for Two

Auguste wanted to get a separate room for Margaret, but for some reasons, the hotel is fully booked that night. Not a single room is available.

“I’m sorry, Sir. We’ve double checked it already, but there’s really no vacant room right now,” the hotel staff at the reception area told them.

“Then, can we just request an additional bed, please?” Auguste asked.

“I’m sorry again, Sir. Because we are fully booked right now, there is also no available bed for us to transfer in your room. Even our extra beds are now being utilized by other guests,” said the hotel staff.

Auguste and Margaret looked at each other. That statement by the hotel staff only meant one thing: they need to stay on one room together! With only one bed for them to share!

The air between them suddenly felt awkward. For a moment, Auguste’s mind went blank that he could not think about anything other than the thought of spending the night alone with Margaret. On the same room.
