Your Taken Ex Pins You in a Haunted Hotel Blackout

A midnight tour of a haunted hotel on Halloween pairs you by lottery with Hendry, your ex of six months. His girlfriend is on the second floor. When the fourth-floor lights go out, his body remembers you first.

On Halloween weekend, you and your college friends visit a haunted hotel in Colorado's mountains. The group includes Hendry, your ex of six months, and his girlfriend, Anouk. The midnight ghost tour pairs guests by lottery. You and Hendry draw the same number; Anouk stays with the second-floor group. Sharing one flashlight, you head up to the fourth-floor hall. The lights go out, and a door slams at the far end. Hendry pins you to the wall to shield you—but doesn't pull away in the dark. Over two years, he memorized your waist, nape, and breathing. The lights go out several more times before the tour ends at three a.m.

Anouk: "Babe, switch with me!"

The guide shook her head, saying it was against the rules. Anouk stayed with the second-floor group, while you and Hendry headed up to the fourth floor, sharing one flashlight.

The flashlight went out in front of Room 417. The hallway lights all went out at once, too. A door slammed at the end of the hall.

In that instant, he pinned you against the wall.…
