‘Eurrgh – rggghh. Ack.’

Casey drew a shuddery breath when the heaving finally subsided. She put down the toilet lid and rested her head on it. The coolness of the porcelain was soothing, but what she really needed was a long sleep or a hot shower.

After the lift doors had closed behind her, she had stared at herself in that gilded mirror for some time. A strange dizziness had settled in her head, and her stomach had started lurching. Casey had remained transfixed on the spot until she belatedly recognised the symptoms for what they were. With only seconds to spare, she had managed to locate and enter her room, where she had been marooned in the bathroom ever since. And, at last, the nausea passed.

Casey continued to focus on her breathing to steady her nerves. That was what had brought on this attack of the hurls. Nerves. It wasn’t food poisoning or a bug, she was sure of it. All morning her stomach had been roiling uneasily, but when she had left Alex behind, matters had reached fever pitch. It was her nerves.

I can’t do this, she thought, not for the first time. I can’t. I can’t.

She sat up and leaned her back against the tiled wall, facing away from the toilet now that her stomach was well and truly empty.

I can’t do this. I don’t want to do this. But oh, oh, I must. I promised Alex. It was my idea.

‘It was my idea,’ she said out loud. The sound of her voice was reassuring, and she continued talking. ‘It seemed like a good idea when we were safely back in London. But now that we’re actually here—’ She sighed deeply.

‘We must be mad. Maybe I should ring Alex and call the whole thing off. He didn’t want to do it either. But then again, we’re here now. We’ve come all this way, and we agreed on a plan. We have to find out.’

Casey shook her head. She would never admit this to Alex, but the curse idea was beginning to appeal to her. It would explain everything and take the responsibility for their plight away from them.

Reluctantly, she detached herself from the cool sanctuary of the bathroom and padded into the bedroom – the very blue bedroom, as suggested by its name – to find her phone. She curled up in the armchair by the window overlooking the sea and launched the internet search engine. Until now, she had only taken Liza and Sasha’s word for it. She had only read a little of the article they had showed her. She hadn’t dared to investigate further, but perhaps if she did, she would find some answers.

Her searches for ‘seven years bad sex curse’ didn’t yield any information beyond what she had already been told. There was no indication of how to undo such a curse in any of the articles Casey read.

After a while, she decided to change tactics. A more general search
