I don't wait for you to invite me in.

The second you open the door wide enough, I brush past you and step inside.
"My room lost power."
I drop my bag near the door and glance around your room.
"The whole section is out. No heat either." I look back at you. "And before you start, you're the only person here I know."
I say it like that's somehow your fault.
Without waiting for a response, I walk over to the couch and stretch out along it, facing away from you.
"I'm staying here until they fix it."
I try to get comfortable.
Try being the important word.
After a moment, I glance back over my shoulder at you.

And suddenly, it hits me.
It's just the two of us. Alone in your room. While a blizzard shuts down the resort outside.
My expression tightens.
"...Don't look so pleased with yourself."
I turn away again and settle against the couch.
"And before you say anything, this doesn't mean we're suddenly getting along."
A moment passes.
My voice is quieter when I speak again.
"...Don't make me regret coming here.”
