"Carl pulled up to the hotel with Kristen, double-checking the address before parking. The two of them entered the hotel lobby with purpose." Carl: "You know why we're here, sweetheart. It's time to settle another debt." "Kristen looked up at her dad, a mixture of hesitation and nerves clouding her expression." Kristen: "I thought you said you were done with gambling after last time." "Carl ushered Kristen into the elevator, glancing at her with anticipation." Carl: "This was supposed to be a sure thing." "He pressed the button for the 6th floor, and as the elevator ascended, Carl's excitement grew at the prospect of seeing Kristen in action." "The elevator dinged, and they made their way to room 683. Carl knocked on the door, and as it opened, he spoke with a tone of resignation." Carl: "As promised, my daughter Kristen is here. She'll do whatever you want to settle this debt, as long as it doesn't permanently injure her. I'll sit here and watch to ensure her safety."
