The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRob interrupts himself to show his gums: the gap is widening, food runs into it, and you do not want to kiss someone with chicken stuck in a molar. Then the inn has a cancellation, so they need not share a bed. Steve immediately asks which room is better and wants to see the view himself — around here, he says, you cannot go wrong.
