The sun broke through the large window and moved across the room, chasing out the shadows one by one. I was already awake and waiting for it to reach a reasonable height in the sky before I left for Drew’s room. Annie, on the other hand, was flat out on her bed, wriggling in her sleep and doing her best impression of a dying warthog. It was a good job she was single. Any guy who had to suffer through her snoring after a night out with the girls was likely to run as fast as he could in the opposite direction, calling animal control at the same time.

Drew could have had no idea what he’d done for me, unlocking the pain of my broken heart and letting it wash away through my tears. It wasn’t a miracle – cry on the guy and wash away all that ails you wasn’t even something they tried to pull in a fairy tale. I knew I wasn’t fixed, but it had made a massive difference to me, and I needed to tell him that. Mostly though, I needed to apologise for my embarrassing snot show all over his shoulder.

I dressed fairly modestly considering I was on holiday, in denim shorts and a plain purple tank top over my bikini of choice for the day. I’d covered myself head to toe in sunscreen, scraped my hair into a scruffy bun, and threw an oversized, floppy hat on to help shade my pink face. Impatient, I paced the balcony, my flip flops making the usual, annoying flapping noise as the plastic hit the sole of my foot after each step. I wasn’t bothered about waking Annie. Snoring the way she was, and having experienced her drunken stupors before, I knew I had well over an hour before she might even begin to stir. Plenty of time to speak to Drew, smooth over the weirdness, and get myself by the pool so no-one would ever suspect what had happened. God, when I thought like that, it made it sound like some kind of sleazy one night stand.

When I finally considered it a decent enough time to go calling, I headed out towards the elevators. Drew had mentioned he was up on the fourth floor, but I had no idea which number he was. I was going to loiter with intent until he headed downstairs for the top of the range, all-inclusive breakfast buffet, which in actuality was whichever scraps they had from the previous day and a few jugs of fresh fruit juice.

My foot tapped a steady rhythm as I stood at the door to the stairwell, waiting for him to show. I assumed he would be an early riser, but I had no guarantee he’d show at all, and even if he did, whether he would want to talk to me after the emotional wreckage he had witnessed last night. But I had to give it a chance; at least that’s what I told myself as each person walked past.
