CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

‘What the hell is that noise?’ Ann rolled over in her single bed and put her fingers in her ears. ‘The sun is hardly up!’

‘It’s a parrot,’ said Sophia. ‘They live on the island and did the same damn thing last time I was here.’

‘It’s chewing the roof! Is it trying to get inside?’

‘They like chewing the timber thatching,’ said Sophia. ‘You’ll get used to it.’

‘I’ll have the manager get rid of them,’ said Ann. ‘She can have them shot or something.’

‘I don’t think so.’

Ben used the bathroom which was only a thatched wall away. ‘Tea and coffee is ready in the lounge room,’ he called as he flushed the toilet.

‘I never get out of bed until 7 at least,’ said Ann.

‘Then you shouldn’t have been wandering around the fale to all hours of the night,’ he said, walking back into his side of the building.

‘He knew it was you,’ Sophia whispered.

‘Well of course he did! I asked him to let me in when I found the damn doors locked.’

‘You look like you’ve had your head in a wind tunnel darling.’

‘Well you’re not looking much better,’ said Ann, climbing out of bed. ‘I’m going to the bathroom and I’m locking the door this time.’

‘Look out for the geckos.’

‘I’m taking hair spray with me,’ said Ann.

‘Hair spray…’

‘I got myself in the eye with it once. It will be murder on those lizards.’

‘Leave them alone for God’s sake!’

‘They shouldn’t allow them in a resort like this.’

‘We’re on a coral island in the middle of the bloody jungle darling. It’s not Jurassic Park. There are no fences here.’

‘I wonder if my hair spray will reach that damn bird on the roof,’ said Ann.

‘Leave the bloody thing alone. It’s a protected species.’

‘It’s chewing a hole in our roof!’

Sophia groaned and rolled over in the bed. ‘Bloody comfortable mattress eh?’

‘Shhh,’ said Ann as she slipped on a floral print gown. ‘The lizards might hear you.’

‘Geckos.’

‘Whatever.’
