Sheridan rapped gently on the door Room #3. No answer. Pushing it open gently, she peeked in and saw that it was almost dark inside, the last few remaining rays of light shining through the window, and the beds were empty.
She walked over to the bed farthest from the window and tossed her bag onto it. Sighing, she dug through the bag and pulled out the only book she had with her; an copy of Oliver Twist, which her mother had bought in London shortly after it came out. It was given to Sheridan after her mother died.
Settling down to read it while the last shafts of light were still visible, she became lost in the book until she heard a knock at the door. Not even bothering to look up, she simply called out, "Aye?", indicating that whoever it was could come in.

"I heard we had a new lodger come in. I was stopping by to say welcome." Gin said as she poked her head in the door, "I'm Gin"

"Oh!" Sheridan put the book aside and stood up, walking over to the door. "Hi. I'm Sheridan."

Gin smiled offering her hand as she stepped into the room a bit. "You like reading? I have a few books of my own in my room if you'd like to switch for a bit." she said with a smile, "I can only read a book so many times before I need a break."

Sheridan took Gin's hand and shook it. "Oh, I love reading! The only book I managed to get before I left home was this one, though. What books do you have?"
