Chapter 51
To their immense relief, the front door was unlocked, so they entered the cottage and located a bathroom fast. There was no time to stop and admire the place properly because they were soaked and shivering, and needed to get warm as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the bathroom had a water heater, so they got into the bathtub together, turned on some hot water, and let the heat warm up their bodies.
“Ugh… that’s so relaxing,” Rachel moaned as the hot water worked its magic. She was neck-deep in it with her eyes closed. It was still raining outside and the thunder was sounding like a mortar going off on a battlefield.
“We could have been in serious trouble if we didn’t locate this place when we did,” said Derek. “Meanwhile, am I the only one here with a rumbling stomach?”
“Nope. I’m hungry too.”
“What if there’s no food here?”
Rachel sighed. “There’s only one way to find out,” she said, rising out of the water.
“Are we leaving the tub already?” Derek groaned.
