She “forgets” her room number.

Ashley and her mother entered their resort suite a moment later, soaked through and through. Ashley’s mom immediately began walking to the shower room. Before closing the door, she spoke softly towards Ashley “Let your sister in when she knocks on the door, ok?”

Ashley responded uncaringly with a “Yeah, ok mom” As Ashley’s mother closed the door behind her. The shower started moments later. Ashley mischievously grinned, walking over to her headphones. She had crafted the perfect plan: swapping Emily’s bikini for a dissolving bikini, having the suit come off in the waves, and no towels to cover up with! Her plan had fallen apart at the last minute, with the storm clearing all potential onlookers off the beach. But Ashley came up with another plan, as she turned the volume up on her music. So long as she was the only one capable hearing her sister’s knocking on the door, Ashley knew she could easily prevent her from getting in.

Emily climbed four flights of stairs, and rapidly knocked on the door and jiggled the door handle. “Open up! Let me in!” She begged. A few minutes later, she collapsed in a defeated heap against the door, clutching her legs to her chest. Emily was almost certain this was the right room, but what if she was wrong? She nervously sat up, unsure of what to do. The only way to find out for certain would mean going to the front desk, which was something she had no plan to do. Emily continued to debate different ideas in her head, none sounding more pleasant than the other.
