Delayed arrival
As I checked into my own accommodations, the desk clerk mentioned the couple’s delayed arrival would mean their room would not be ready upon their eventual check-in.
‘They’ll have to wait a bit,’ the clerk said, scanning the system. I smiled internally, knowing this was another stroke of fate on my side.
Each piece of the puzzle was falling into place, making their supposedly perfect honeymoon more nightmarish by the minute.
Fate was certainly at play.
