Lumaro woke up with a growling stomach. He checked the clock hanging on the wall and was mystified to learn that it was almost one o’clock in the afternoon.
Leslie had been awakened also and, like Lumaro, her eyes grew wide as she saw the time. They looked at each other, both unable to utter any words. They both felt tongue-tied.
Leslie jumped down from the bed and quickly picked up her clothes that were scattered on the floor. After dressing, she walked out of Lumaro’s room still not muttering any word. She left Lumaro, who remained silent and dumbfounded.
Leslie ran into the corridor of the Triple K Hotel with tears rushing down her face. How a fool she could get to entrust her innocence to Lumaro who she knows did not even want her because he is crazy to get and be with Grazziena.
