The door didn’t open.
“What the—” She pulled harder.
I got to my feet and crossed the small space. She saw me coming and jumped back like I was on a mission tosteal her towel. Not that that wasn’t an entertaining thought.
I grabbed the handle and pulled. Nothing.
“Shit.”
I was pretty sure saunas weren’t supposed to lock.
Zoe had transitioned from pissed off to panicked. “We could die in here! How could anyone get accidentally locked in a sauna?”
Suddenly it hit me, and I groaned, backing up until I felt the wood of the bench behind me. I sat down heavily. “We haven’t been accidentally locked in.”
She tried the door one more time, yanking hard enough that her towel shifted dangerously low over her breasts. “I beg to differ.”
“We’re locked in,” I said. “But not accidentally. This was deliberate.”
“What?” She stared at me blankly.
“The twins did this.”
“What?” Her voice went up an octave. “Why would they do that? We have to get out of here.”
“Will you relax? We’re not in danger. We’ve been locked in by our friends, not accidentally.”
“How is that better?” she snapped.
“Well, presumably, they’ll let us out at some point. They’re idiots, not murderers.”
Though she didn’t look resigned to our fate, she sat on the bench opposite me. She crossed one leg over the other, a move that couldn’t help but draw my attentionto the way the towel rode even higher on her thighs.
I dragged my gaze away. Barely.
“Why would they do this?” she asked sulkily.
“They must have some kind of warped twin logic behind this.”
“This had to be Kai’s idea.” It didn’t sound like a question.
“Both of them, probably.”
She shook her head. “Landon wouldn’t do this.”
“Maybe not now,” I admitted. “But he and Kai used to always get into trouble.”
She still didn’t look convinced. “How could it even be them? They didn’t know I was coming here.”
“But they knew I was. Landon told me he needed to talk to me privately. That he’d meet me here at this time.” Shit, I should’ve realized how suspicious that sounded. Guys didn’t hang out in saunas. Except maybe European dudes.
“Really?” She frowned. “But he couldn’t have knownIwas coming.”
“Why did you come?”
“Mrs. Greer asked me to. She’s been sending me to try out various aspects of the hotel, saying I need to learn how things operate.” Zoe’s frown deepened, for once pissed off at someone besides me. “Honestly, I think she just wants to get me out of her hair whenever she can.”
Huh. Old Lady Greer and I finally had something in common. “Did anyone hear her tell you to come?”
