At one she went to find Stella at the bathing house, but she wasn’t there. Bess only then realized how long she’d talked with Charles. She was an hour late, and Stella had likely gotten hungry and gone off in search of lunch.

It was so hot that her dress stuck to her. She trudged up the sand back to the hotel and went to the room to change into her swimming costume. Even before she went inside she knew something was wrong. The door was ajar. When she pushed it open she saw clothes everywhere.

“Stella? Stella?”

Stella came out of the bedroom, her hair wet and pulled back into a bun. Her suitcase was in her hand.

“I thought something happened! I thought someone had broken in!” Only then did Bess realize Stella was crying. She stepped back. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

“It’s Abby,” Stella sobbed. “She’s in the hospital. Something’s wrong with the baby.”

“Oh, God.”

“I have to go back tonight. But I can’t find my train ticket. I’ve been looking everywhere.”

“Don’t worry about that. Buy a new one.”

“You can stay. I don’t want you to cut your weekend short.”

Bess thought of Charles. She would have to wire him immediately. She pulled Stella into a hug. “Of course I’ll go back with you.”
