The Woman in Cabin 10

Lo takes a shower in the decadent cabin bathroom, with the door open so she can see the ocean from out her cabin window. Suddenly, the bathroom door slams shut, as if someone has pushed it closed, and Lo is stuck in the dark. Fumbling to turn off the shower, Lo scalds and then freezes herself, before cautiously opening the door. Her heart is pounding, but no one is in the room and her bedroom door is both locked and chained shut.

Lo scolds herself for being so anxious and not letting herself enjoy her vacation, pours herself a drink to calm down, and checks her email. She sends an update to her mother and to her friend, Lissie, and an apology note to Judah. Then, she gets dressed for dinner in one of the three evening gowns she has rented for the cruise. As she gets ready, Lo realizes she forgot her mascara–the thief who broke into her apartment had taken it when they stole her purse. Lo hears the water run in the cabin next door, and leaves her room to see if whomever is staying next to her has some extra mascara.
