Time passed by slowly.
Theo ate some actual food for the first time in a while and gathered up his belongings.
Occasionally, he'd hear Lyra threatening Owen in another room, which was only met by his laughter.
Though it all felt very weird to him at first, the two genuinely seemed happy together.
'Who could've thought…'
Theo shook his head lightly, a slight smile on his face.
'That brute actually managed to find a girlfriend for himself.'
Only thirty minutes later, the group made their way downstairs together, each carrying a bag with their belongings.
Outside the hotel, a sleek black vehicle already waited for them by the entrance.
''Look at that,'' Owen grinned. ''Now that's a sweet car.''
Click!
One of the back doors opened up.
Theo's eyes widened slightly as a familiar figure stepped out.
Iris immediately made eye contact with him, very clearly furious.
''Oh,'' Owen let out beside him.
Then he glanced over at Theo with a smug smile.
Pat! Pat!
''Good luck buddy.''
