Chapter 23

She woke up at 6.00 AM and placed a call to Mike and confirmed that everything was going on fine in her absence. She had a nice shower, enjoyed every minute of it, she was happy that the massage head was actually working and was refreshing that morning. She was going through the agenda for the day in her mind, she was eager to learn more and was happy that the session was not boring; actually it was very interesting and very informative. The warm water from the shower was forming a thin layer on the mirror on the bathroom and steam was filling in the room, but she felt as if she were in a mystical place of knowledge.

Instead of ordering in breakfast, she decided to go to the restaurant downstairs and enjoy her morning breakfast with the morning news. It was almost empty when she walked in and took a couple of slices of an orange and some blueberries. She ordered a bull’s eye with a French toast and settled down comfortably, positioning herself for a perfect view of the television. She loved berries, all of them, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries; she would eat them any time of the day. She enjoyed her breakfast and there was nothing important on the news except that some local robbery and some police chase.

When she walked in, she remembered that today was the last day and complimentary breakfast was included and everybody was already there and looked like they were enjoying their breakfast. She found a seat and sat down comfortably. Someone walk next to her took and seat and asked, ‘Hey! How are you? It has been a while we crossed each others path? Good to see you here? May be we can grab a bite together after this is over’. She stared at the one ear pierced, pony tailed, five feet seven inches tall, with a sharp long nose, and she was not sure if she had met him before or was he asking her out, her mind drew a blank.
