Sea Shell Hotel

Friday mid-afternoon

It was basically a pit stop. The seniors hurried to use the restroom, get a drink, apply lip gloss and cologne, grab a sweater, and in Gretta’s case, watch eight minutes of CNN on the big screen TV in their room.

With Freddy looking on, Sherwood tried to telephone Willie’s room again and got no answer. Half perplexed and half worried, she forced herself to concentrate on the activities ahead.

“Hey, take it easy. You aren’t their babysitter you know,” Freddy calmed. “Just their activity director.”

“Not yet, I’m not. Remember that this is a trial deal. You know, try before you buy. This group may decide they don’t want me.”

“Anyone who didn’t want you would be entirely crazy.”

The double meaning was not missed on Sherwood. Her thoughts flashed briefly to her ex-fiancé. He didn’t want her. He had, in fact, humiliated her. Unceremoniously dumped her. Sherwood mistook the look of desire on Freddy’s face as sympathy. After the way she’d consistently turned down his date offers during their college years, she was surprised that he was being so nice to her. The sight of Freddy rolling up his white dress shirt sleeves and adjusting his tie made her stomach jump. The muscles in his exposed forearms moved beneath tawny skin and the fabric of his dress shirt stretched across wide shoulders. When had he turned into such a man? Sherwood inhaled sharply and all thoughts of the professor were forgotten. She tried to imagine what it would feel like to stretch out on her crisp, hotel bed sheets. Next to Freddy. Nude. If only she’d have paid more attention to him last year, when he was interested in her.

To prevent herself from falling into self-pity mode, she focused on the matters at hand and called her residents who’d skipped the morning shopping. Rounding up Jack, Nell, Maggie, and Gus took only five phone calls. Exactly fourteen minutes after parking along the curb, the motorcoach pulled out with all of its rightful passengers, except one. The mystery man that nobody knew.
