Tray took the stairs, two at a time, down to the main lobby. Poking his head into the dining room, he saw the pasta buffet was still in full swing. It wasn’t as late as he’d thought. They could come downstairs for dinner before they went dancing.

The bartender presented him a couple of choices, both well chilled. After choosing, he signed the chit with their room number, re-entered the lobby, and crossed the wide expanse of marble floor to the gift shop. The young woman behind the counter, discreetly filing her nails, glanced up and smiled widely.

“How can I help you sir?”

“I was hoping for some fresh flowers,” Tray said, his gaze sweeping the shelves and counters lined with souvenirs and boxed candy.

“We have some,” the young woman said. “Out back in the cooler. What did you have in mind?” She rifled through a stack of papers beside the cash register, and passed him a full-color brochure. “We have some beautiful daffodils for Easter. Lilies, too.”

“Roses?”

“Absolutely, we got some nice ones in this morning. Let me check what colors we have left.” She slipped from behind the counter and through a door into the back. “We have red. And red.” She smiled, a crooked bit of a smile, that he found somehow endearing. She reminded him a little of Isabel’s daughter Karin.

“Red is perfect. I’ll take a dozen, please.”

“Shall I send them up to your room, sir?”

“I’d rather take them myself, if it’s no trouble.”

“No trouble at all, sir. Give me five minutes. Would you like a vase for them? We have a nice selection against that wall.” She pointed out a shelf with a handful of different vases.

“I’ll have a look,” Tray said. He shuffled through the vases for a couple of minutes - they all looked the same to him - and in the end, chose the one that looked the right size for a dozen roses.

The girl approved of his choice, artfully arranged the roses with baby’s breath and some extra greenery in the vase, and presented the chit for his signature. Thanking her, he made his way back across the lobby, choosing the elevator back to the fourth floor.

He opened the door into an empty room. The lights had been dimmed and music played softly from the entertainment cabinet. He placed the flowers and wine on the table, grabbed the ice bucket and went back out into the hallway. When he returned, he put the wine into the ice and tapped on the bathroom door. Steam rolled under the opening. “I’m back.”

“Come in,” Isabel called. He opened the door. She leaned against the back of the large heart-shaped Jacuzzi in the corner. Bubbles threatened to spill over the edge of the tub, and a sweet scent filled the air. She grinned up at him and raised her glass. “Your beer is on the counter.”

Rose petals were strewn on the counter, on the floor and sprinkled over the sea of bubbles. Her skin, flush with the heat or the wine, glowed.
