Chapter Six

Morning came and I felt awful. Sleep had evaded me, and I was too exhausted to get out of bed. It was major deja vu. Hadn't I just been through this? I had no idea what I should be thinking. Was I too hard on Rex? Had he been forced to leave me by a criminal? I wondered why he didn't confide in me. If he had told me Sharon was blackmailing him, I could have faked a breakup to deceive her. I think I'm a good actress. Maybe he thought I wouldn't believe him or that I would be too confused. Perhaps he was right; I was still confused. Why did she involve me in blackmail? Had she destroyed our marriage plans out of revenge? Was that her way of getting even because he fired her?

We were supposed to be friends, but she never told me she had been fired. She led me to believe she quit in order to pursue a new career. I never thought to ask Rex about it, and now I didn't know who was telling the truth. By blaming Rex, was I helping Sharon in her illegal endeavors? I needed Robert here to advise me, but should anyone ever ask a lover for advice about past romance? Sadly, I realized Robert was still on a plane and out of communication range. I needed to hear his voice.

My phone rang, and I heard my only friend on the island, Anne.

"I was just out on the patio and didn't see you. And you haven't called to order breakfast yet. If you don't feel like eating on the terrace, I'll have some food delivered directly to your room and pamper you with breakfast in bed. Just let me know. I'll take a break so we can whine and dine together."

"Anne, you're so thoughtful. I confess I'm still in bed. I didn't realize it was so late. I'll grab some leggings and a pullover tunic as quickly as I can. Just have them send my breakfast to the terrace with an extra beverage for you. I'll take some juice, yogurt, and fruit."

I was hardly out the door before breakfast arrived on my table. Once again I had little appetite, but perhaps if I nibbled... The morning light on the white walls was like a painting: pale blue, rose, and gold. Sometimes the beauty of the place was difficult to comprehend. Anne waved from the office door and walked toward me.

"I see you ordered hot tea with lemon," I tried to smile at her, but it was a feeble effort. My hair was still rumpled, so I tried to comb it with my fingers.

"Yes, I'm sure you know how hard it is to get tea with lemon in Europe. The last time I flew back to America I connected in Paris and the French airlines always serve tea with milk." Anne smiled and pointed at my tray. "I ordered several croissants to share as well."

"Oh, thank you so much.
