Lou didn't know what had awoken her but suddenly she was alert, her heart pounding. Even though the windows were shuttered she could tell that it was early morning. Light had started to filter into the room. It was silent and it took a few moments for her to realize what was different. The winds had dropped and the rain was falling so gently that it could hardly be heard against the window. In her half-awake state Lou struggled to think clearly. Something wasn't right. There was something she should be remembering. What was it? She looked carefully about the room again. Paul was now stirring beside her. But no Clara. And it seemed as if all of the guests had stayed in their cabins. She should check to see how they had fared.

Lou's heart started to beat faster for a reason she couldn't quite put her finger on. She shook off her blanket and headed outside into a gentle but persistent rain. They had been lucky. A few broken tree branches seemed to be the only damage.

"Good morning." Kylie was on the deck of her cabin doing some stretches, dressed as if she was ready for an inner-Sydney gym.

Lou stopped at the bottom of the steps and leaned on the railing. "Morning. I am just checking to see if everyone is okay after last night's storm."

"You mean the one in the lounge or the cyclone?" said Kylie with a raised eyebrow.

Lou smiled. She was continually surprised by Kylie's ability to keep on top of whatever was going on.

"Both I guess. I'm off to the other cabins now."

"Well I won't be joining you. I'm only halfway through my routine."

Lou nodded. "Breakfast will be ready in an hour." She waved over her shoulder but Kylie was already concentrating on her next stretch.
