Chapter Eleven

Jill showered, dressed, and somehow peeled herself away from a goodbye kiss. Walking down the hall toward the elevator, she had to fight a strange new form of gravity that sucked her backwards, toward the room. To Erik.

He must have felt it, too, because suddenly he was there, chasing her down for one last kiss. One that started at her lips and reached all the way into her soul. After that, the elevator seemed superfluous. She could have floated all the way down to the lobby.

She savored the taste of him all the way to the airport and floated some more. No luggage? No worries. She pranced along, continuing her rounds of the airport. She had her new T-shirt to wear now, anyway, the one she bought yesterday. Sunny yellow, like her mood, with a winking camel and the Dubai skyline.

Flights? No? She left the counter, humming a happy tune.

If Jill breezed through the morning, Louise didn’t catch it. She seemed to be settling in, along with the kids. The furrows in her brow didn’t seem as deep, and the circles under her eyes had faded away. In fact, everyone seemed to be settling in. All the hotel guests rested in a kind of resigned stupor, moving slowly, speaking in hushed tones.

“How are you finding your new hotel?” Louise asked, sitting over tea as the kids scampered around the courtyard, chasing a ball.

“Oh, it’s…quite nice.” Jill stirred her tea fast enough to let it slop over the edges.

“And your roommate?” Louise asked, peeling a banana for her youngest, in for a quick pit stop at her knee.

Jill hid her blush behind her teacup. Luckily Louise was distracted this morning. Actually, she always seemed distracted. It seemed a permanent condition of motherhood. “My roommate? Oh…very accommodating,” she said, thinking of Erik’s soft, silky touch.

“Are the meals good?”

She chewed on the idea of trying room service. Then she’d get to stay in bed. With Erik. “Very tasty,” she replied, barely catching herself before sliding off into fantasyland.

Louise sent the toddler off with a loving pat on the rump. “Could you sleep all right? I find it quite difficult in this heat.”

Sleep? An image of Erik’s pulsing body flashed through her mind, followed by another of him asleep and serene.

“Oh, um, I guess I was tired enough to sleep well,” she mumbled. Tired enough after coming—how many times? And not just in round one. She pulled her shirt away from her skin and fanned herself a little. “Gosh, it’s hot today.”

“Awful, this climate!”

She thought of the cool hotel room air and the heat of two intertwined bodies. She tuned out as Louise launched into a tirade against the hotel’s breakfast sausages and tea. But Louise caught herself a moment later and softened into an appreciative smile. “But it’s just fine. I don’t know where we’d be without you.” She sniffed a little, eyes shining with fresh tears.

As if Jill needed another boost to her high-flying mood. She positively floated over the sidewalks
