Read
Hannah arrives at a hotel after a long train ride. She gives her name to the receptionist and shows her identification. The receptionist finds her reservation and hands her a room key. Upstairs, Hannah opens the door and notices that the room faces a busy street. She hears traffic through the closed window and worries about sleeping. She calls the front desk and asks about a quieter room. The receptionist checks and offers one at the back of the building. Hannah moves her bags and tests the new key. The second room feels peaceful, and she finally unpacks her suitcase.
