Chapter 26: Get Ready

“Good. I’ll set it up.” He helped me stand and held my hands as we climbed off the rocks and made our way back to the hotel.

We took it slow, searching for seashells. We found a few. Griffin tucked them into his pocket as we walked. When we reached the hotel, I studied all the details I’d missed when I arrived the day before. At the front of the hotel, directly in the center courtyard stood a magnificent fountain. It rained water into a grand pool. And if that wasn’t enough, another exactly like it stood farther down the lane, like an arrow pointing toward the gorgeous beach beyond.

The entrance itself was covered to keep it in the shade no matter the time of day. Four stunning chandeliers hung from the smooth granite ceiling. On either side stood two large columns, like welcoming sentries guarding the beauty around them. The doors were glass, allowing one to see into the lobby, which was sleek, and bright, and decorated to perfection in a contemporary style.
