"I'm not sure," Benjamin said, not feeling as ready as he had hoped he'd be, "but the only way to get to know her is to talk to her personally." If he was honest to himself, he wasn't even sure what he could say to her. At least he had from here to his room to figure something out.

When they reached the room he opened the door and went in, leaving it open for Ray and her spirits. He looked around, maybe it was his room, but it didn't feel like it. Cold and impersonal. It was just a place designated to him for sleeping, nothing more. But it served another purpose now, there were no places to have a private conversation.
He pulled back the chair at the small table to sit on it, leaving the bed for Ray to sit on.
