But since Paul wanted to make things right now, Colette could respect that.<br/><br/>~“You are right”~, she replied. ~“It wasn’t right at all, but you want to make things right now. You can’t change the past, but you can make things right from now on”~, she continued, trying to offer some encouragement. <br/><br/>It hadn’t been solely his fault, after all. She could see how he blamed himself, as he hadn’t stopped Rich, but that had stayed in the past. There was a chance to correct things now. <br/><br/>She nodded when Paul said that if they figured out who the person was, they could offer to help expose Rich. ~“That might work with them. Maybe they will settle for getting in arrested, but I don’t know if that could even happen”~, she commented, a concerned expression on her face. <br/><br/>~“I think karma has already found a way”~, she replied to Paul’s comment. ~“We just need to make sure it doesn’t drag innocent people down with him”~, the chambermaid completed. She wasn’t sure if there was anyone in that group that was completely innocent, though. But there should be ones that were guiltier than others.<br/><br/>~“Would you tell me everything you know about him?”~, she asked quietly. ~“I will not share what you say with anyone.

She would thank him profusely for the company and part ways with him only when they reached the hotel, as she slept at a small area to the back where there were a few rooms for those who didn’t have homes nearby.<br/><br/>Before going to the back, she had still told Shane not to worry about anything, and wished him a good night. She would make things right for him.</div>
