She really didn't want to leave the room at all, but they had to at some point and if he couldn't carry her unnoticed then there was nothing for it but to hope the questions would be more of 'what's going on' rather than 'why are the two of you walking out of Bart's room?'.

She sighed and started to sit up. "So I guess we have to walk out and hope they're all sleeping or something?"
