“I’m not about to pee in front of you, Noah.”
“You’re going to end up doing it in your pants if you don’t, and you’ll stink of piss.”
“Ugh, there’s no sink to wash my hands. This is horrible.”
He imagined their kidnappers had done this on purpose.
“I’ll close my eyes.”
“You’ll be able to hear.”
“Do you need to take a shit or something?”
“Noah, seriously.”
“Look, go. I’m going to need to go soon myself, and I’m not going to have any problem about doing it in front of you. I’ll even take a dump in front of you. Don’t you think our current situation states we’ve got a whole lot more on our plate than using the bathroom?”
She pressed her hands against her face. “I hate this.”
“It wasn’t supposed to be a walk in the park, darlin’,” he said.
He saw her eyeroll.
“You can’t tell anyone about this. No sharing it either.”
“I don’t have my cell phone. Believe me, I will not be telling anyone anything.”
She moved toward the toilet, and he watched and waited.
“Do you think someone died on that toilet?”
Noah wasn’t about to tell her that he believed a lot of people had died in this very room. He didn’t want to freak her out.
“Probably not.” The lie slipped so easily off his tongue. “Just go.”
“Close your eyes.”
He rolled them before closing them. He heard her shuffling around, and then the sound of her peeing. He didn’t know what her problem was.
They were stuck in this hellhole together, and he was going to be watching and hearing a whole lot of stuff he’d never planned on.
“You can look now,” she said.
Opening his eyes, he saw her staring at her hands. “Did you piss on them?”
“No.”
“Then don’t worry about it.”
“It’s gross.”
“I’m not going to tell anyone. This is all … nothing. Okay. How about we agree on that?”
“Agree on what?”
“No matter what happens here, we don’t tell anyone anything. We’ll treat it like a Vegas thing. What happens in this room or here stays here. Nothing goes out, and we don’t speak a word.”
“I like that,” she said. She moved from the toilet, sitting beside him. Her hands were on her thighs.
