When Alessandra opened her eyes, two thoughts immediately hit her.
The pain in her head had gone. She was feeling fine again.
And it was so quiet.
When she closed her eyes and listened, really listened...she could hear nothing.
Only the blood pulsing in her head.
When a bird passed by outside the window, whistling, the beautiful song it sung seemed far louder than it probably really was.
Rolling over to the edge of the bed and standing up, she moved slowly to the window, not entirely trusting herself, and opened it up.
A wonderful smell filled her nostrils.
Pine.
Flowers.
Fresh air.
She stuck her head out of the window and breathed in, deeply.
She breathed out, and no sooner had she relaxed than a smile began to grow on her face.
From where she stood, her view was amazing.
She could see out over a loch, with a beautiful mountain rising above it on the other side. Apart from the sound of some birds, there was nothing to be heard.
No cars. No aircraft. No people.
Paradise!
Pulling the curtains open she sat back down on the edge of her bed and stared out across the magical vista that came with the price tag of perhaps the best room in the hotel.
Money worth spending. Every penny of it.
Then a magical thing happened.
Her tummy rumbled!
The nausea was gone and she was now starving.
Last night she couldn't get rid of the food fast enough, and now she felt the urge to stuff herself stupid.
Thankfully, she had a lot more control over what went in, than what came out.
Breakfast could wait a little longer.
