Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 When we returned from our vacation, we found that our host, the hotel managers, had arrived to check on us. We had one sick traveler who needed to get to the airport, and our friend Anna had not yet appeared. #2 I went to check on Anna, and found her speaking on the phone in German. She was pacing around in her bathrobe, and seemed detached and calm. I was scared because it seemed like she was waiting for something. #3 The tension in the room was unbearable. I was angry at Anna, and thought she was being detached because she had received monthly trust fund disbursements. She had never made prior arrangements to access more funds for her travels. #4 When I tried to use my personal credit card to prepay for the hotel, the managers refused. I was shocked, but then I remembered that they said the block would only be temporary. When I went to meet with Jesse, I decided to tell the concierge that we were running late.
