. uh ... you don't understand," Jane said."What?" They are pictures showing me wearing every single outfit I own." Oh my god..." Ted flipped through t...e pages quickly, seeing clearly now that Jane was dressed differently in each one. "But why?" he asked."Because..." Jane took a deep breath, and tried to swallow her nervousness, "because..." she continued, "because..."

So you get off the hotel bed too turn off the alarm and wonder why you had an alarm set. You turn your head too see if your girlfriend is still sleeping but you find her gone.Your too tired too think about what happened to your girlfriend so you just go to the bathroom to get yourself more awake.
