"The twins are awake, and we need to make sure no one else finds out you were here." David nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I'll get up and let them in. We'll figure something out." He carefully extricated himself from their embrace and grabbed his clothes from the floor, pulling them on quickly. Sienna, meanwhile, straightened the bedcovers and adjusted her clothes, making herself presentable. David unlocked the door and opened it just enough for the kids to slip inside, preventing anyone else from seeing him. "Hey, guys," he whispered, trying to sound casual. "Why don't you come in and join us for a bit?" Bella and Xander, their curiosity piqued, entered the room without protest.
