Walking in to where Jamie has booked me, I feel so much more comfortable.

It is a typical business hotel. All functional and quite minimal. I’m so busy looking up at the bright, spotlighted ceiling that I bump into someone carrying a briefcase.

‘Sorry!’ I say. The man looks at me with disgust.

‘Tourists,’ I hear him mutter. I obviously don’t look like I’m on a business trip then. What is he doing with a briefcase at this time of the night? Shouldn’t he have finished work by now? Is everyone in New York a workaholic?

I am soon checked in by an attentive receptionist and given the key for my standard room. I open the door with my key card and am pleased to see that there are no vagrant hairs in the room. Not even a hideous carpet.

I throw myself on the comfortable bed. I want to snuggle under the sheets, but they are tucked in so tightly I don’t quite have the strength to loosen them. Instead, I get up and search for my nightshirt and hang up my ‘dress of hope’.

I am still searching for my nightshirt when Patrick replies to an earlier message. I had sent photos of my new hotel, after explaining to him that I had to leave the hotel he had arranged. I thanked him for his trouble though.

Glad you’re happy, honey. Sorry that didn’t work out. The location was amazing; I guess it would be better in the day. Off to bed now but look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Tiffany’s, Fifth Avenue, 1pm. Just like old times XX
