The elevator dinged, and they stepped out onto the sixth floor. Room 612, 614, and 616 — all lined up like they'd planned it months ago. Javi and Anne took the first one. João opened the door to the middle room with Lukas following right beside him. And in the last room, Joanna was already closing her door with her eyes glued to her phone.
Jo: "How tired are you right now?"
Lukas's phone chimed with a message from Joanna just as he sat down on one of the twin beds in the room he and João would be sharing for the night.
He replied immediately, "Not much. You know I only played like 15 minutes. The adrenaline hasn't worn off yet."
Jo: "Good. Be in front of my room in 30 minutes."
