Chapter 50 : Calls to Home

“Would you care for another drink, miss?” one of the maids asked.

“I would love one, thank you,” I said and then turned my attention back to the book I was reading.

I’d spent the last hour on the back deck next to the infinity pool, reading the book Michael gave me. The past few days, we’d spent our time exploring different hiking trails across the resort, swimming in the ocean, and relaxing by the pool.

The heat was starting to get to me, so I set down my book, slipped off my coverup, and eased myself into the pool's refreshing water. I waded around for a few minutes, careful not to get my hair wet.

Michael took me to a fancy restaurant every night, and I wouldn’t have time to get my hair dry again before it was time to leave.

“I will just set your drink on the table. Oh, and miss? Your phone is ringing. Would you like me to bring it to you?” the maid said as she set a fruity drink down next to my things.
