A familiar face

I walked down the hotel and headed to the lobby, where I found the receptionist. I talked to her and said, "Tell your staff that if they hear any sounds from room 17, please don't hesitate to barge in and check the surroundings." I smiled at her, to which she nervously nodded.

Every step I took, I only thought about what Cassandra would do if they were alone. Ugh! I can't focus right now. Damn it, there's a lot to think about, but another one just added.

I walked past the streets and headed straight towards the market. It was rowdy and full of voices.
