He did his best not to look, but he saw anyway.
It was awkward, but he got it done in the end and breathed a sigh of relief as he fled Winter's room.
Frank was afraid to stay at Skywater Bay too, since things would get awkward when Winter woke up, which was why he fled Riverton in the night.
The next day, he showed up at Lanecorp's offices in Zamri, punctually reporting in to work.
