You can't make out everything they are saying, but you imagine that they are perhaps making plans for tomorrow. A walk. sunrise swim, a leisurely cup of coffee on the veranda. As the voices dwindle in number, you realize you are quite sleepy and think longingly of your own tidy upstairs guest room with its window on the sea.

Closing the book, you run your fingers along the irregular edge of its heavy, cream-coloured pages. Exhaling completely, you carefully place the book back on the stack where you found it. Standing up, you stretch luxuriously. you realize you have waited until the last of the other guests have vanished from the corridor. The front hallway is silent, but for the ticking of the clock.

After slowly climbing the whitewashed wooden stairs, you make your way up to your room for the night. Your door opens quietly when you turn the silver key in the lock. The room is a modest size, which lends it an air of snug privacy. The queen-size bed is furnished in simple light colors. It has a weathered-looking antique metal bed frame and is piled with an abundance of soft, cushy pillows.

In the rest of the room, the patterned wallpaper brings a homey touch to the otherwise simple decor. A lamp glows cheerfully by your bedside. and your fresh white sheets and a pale coverlet have been turned down by the staff. You ready yourself for sleep, slipping on a velvety soft pair of flannel pyjamas. You rest your feet just briefly,

on the age-worn wooden floorboard, remembering for a moment the similarly smooth wood of the boardwalk from earlier. Sitting on the edge of the bed, you lift your head and look straight out of your window, where the stars are twinkling over the sea. A little breeze winds through the room, infusing it with a lovely salty freshness. Sliding into the crisp, cool sheets, you stretch your legs.

You are completely comfortable here. You breathe deeply and feel entirely relaxed. as you turn out the lamp, causing its golden pool of light to vanish obligingly. You snuggle down into your comforter and inhale deeply, letting the air back out in a sigh of contentment. Lying there, you gaze at the moonlight, It forms a triangle on the painted white wood floors.

Somewhere down the hall, another door opens and closes quietly. This entire seaside retreat is going to sleep for the night, as if in silent agreement. feel like you are cleverly hidden away in this sweet, safe place. A sense of relaxation evades the entire hotel. Everyone here seems so happy and well. Your mind wanders as your eyes begin to feel heavier.
