~ Casey ~
âEurrgh â rggghh. Ack.â
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 wasnât 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 canât do this, she thought, not for the first time. I canât. I canât.

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 â the very blue bedroom, as suggested by its name â 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 Sashaâs word for it. She had only read a little of the article they had showed her. She hadnât dared to investigate further, but perhaps if she did, she would find some answers.
Her searches for âseven years bad sex curseâ didnât 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.
