The next day, Hazel awoke to find Francisco absent from bed. It struck her that, once again, she had fallen asleep beside him. Hastily fixing her disheveled dress, she scanned the room, catching the distant sounds emanating from the washroom.
‘He must be taking a shower.’
A sense of urgency gripped Hazel.
‘I need to do something right now so that he doesn’t suspect me.’
She thought. Taking a deep breath, she moved toward the closet, her mind racing.
Without a second thought, Hazel opened the closet. She positioned herself strategically, ensuring her actions wouldn't be caught on camera. Swift and decisive, she began her search, digging through drawers and gliding her hands under clothes. Time seemed to compress as Hazel worked with remarkable speed, leaving everything seemingly undisturbed.
