Just then, Jasper came back. The light in the tent outside had gone out; only this whole camper van still had its lights on.
Willow was sitting on the bed. The moment the man entered, it was as though the seemingly luxurious space had instantly become cramped. “Let’s go to sleep. I’m turning off the lights now,” he said.
Needless to say, having slept all the way here in the afternoon, Willow was unable to sleep at this moment. She couldn’t help but plead, ‘Can we keep the lights on for a little longer? I can’t fall asleep.”
Jasper glanced at his watch. “I’ll give you ten more minutes,” he said. After that, he sat down and continued doing something on his laptop.
Seeing a big bump on her arm from the mosquito bite earlier, Willow couldn’t help but suggest, “There’s probably some mosquito repellent or itch-relieving cream in here.” With that, she began looking around carefully before spotting a row of little drawers overhead.
