Jacob’s worried that if she tries to find clothes somewhere first, she’ll miss Seth. So she decides to go to the lobby in just her diaper. The moment she steps into the hall, she’s hit with a blast of cold air, making her second-guess this decision. But she forges ahead.
Clad in just a diaper, Jacob marches down the hall. When she passes by a mother with her young daughter, the little girl points at Jacob.
“Mommy, she only has a diaper on.”
“Babies and toddlers get away with that, Christy. In fact, sometimes they run around completely naked.”
“Ew. Gross.” Thankfully, Christy and her mother go into a room, leaving Jacob alone in the hallway once again.
As she walks, she begins to get more used to the temperature. Though it might just be that her diaper is getting slightly warmer. At some point, Jacob began peeing again. It’s more of a constant dribble than a sudden flood, so her diaper is managing to stay comfortably dry.
Jacob arrives at the lobby again. She settles behind her plant from before and prepares to wait.
