Chapter 18: Intruder

The bathroom was small, but it had a comfortable tiled floor and the inside was surprisingly clean. I was honestly expecting cobwebs or dust, as the bathroom was unused for days, even weeks! 

It wasn't the type of bathroom I'm accustomed too. It was too small for me. However, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm safe and comfortable here, that's all what matter.

Thankfully, Amelie was a responsible landlady; she had maintained the cleanliness of both the room and the attached bathroom for her future tenants. So far, Amelie was kind, responsible and easy to talk to. I already felt better about my decision to stay. 

I hung the towel on the rack and peeled off my clothes, placing them on the top of the sink. The cold air made me shiver, and I hurriedly turned on the shower, hoping for hot water.

Luckily, the water was surprisingly warm against my cold skin. My strained nerves began to relax while my stress slowly faded away.
