When Katherine and Max made it back to her room, he waited at her door to keep guard while she went inside to prepare for the announcement.
She turned on the shower in her attached bathroom and yanked her clothes off as she waited for the water to warm up.
As the humidity of the warm water filled the space, Katherine opened the glass door to the shower and walked inside before shutting it behind her.
She walked into the stream of water and relaxed her body as the heat comforted her like a hug.
As much as she did not want it to, the conversation she had with Marcus and Charles played over and over again in her mind.
