Finally, Scarlett could enter her room, finding solace after those awkward moments with Xander Riley.
She leaned against the door, trying to soothe her racing heart. It was hard to understand that she would now share the president's room with Xander Riley, just the two of them. Nervousness coursed through her, even though they wouldn't be sharing the same bedroom.
