I imagine this went down like this: girlfriend: aww, I love this man and I want him to feel warm. I know hotels throw out lost and found periodically, I'll ask nicely for something to keep him warm. A jacket feels like too much, maybe a scarf. [Girlfriend arrives at front desk] girlfriend: "Hiya! I lost a scarf here last week, could U help me?" winks if I tell him I just want a scarf, he can't give it to me, he works here, hopefully he picks up on what I mean. staff: I've never seen this woman before—I would know if I had. However she just winked at me so I bet she knows I have to throw most of this out, I'll see what happens if I play along. "Yes, one moment, let's see what we've got." [Staff brings out an assortment of scarves] girlfriend: I'll watch carefully how he reacts as I reach for a scarf. Ok, let's get something modest. [reaches towards a modest scarf] staff: [visibly wincing] No, not that one, a guest left it yesterday and they might come back. girlfriend: Oh, ok, looks like someone lost that recently, I'll adjust course to the left. staff: [visibly relieved, happy even] yes, please, that one got left three weeks ago girlfriend: [grabs the scarf indicated] "Oh, thank U so much!"
