She opens the door for him and lets him precede her through into the expansive marble foyer of a fantastically huge house. Their footsteps ring in the empty space.

"Right this way, sir. There are cocktails waiting by the pool." She waggles her eyebrows at him.

He looks around and wishes he'd remembered to bring his shades.

'You've moved up in the world,' he remarks. 'Got another rich boyfriend hidden away?'

She wrinkles her nose at him, grinning, leading him through a series of rooms, all the furniture covered in white cloth.

"Only here for the week. Needed it for the cover. But. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy it while we're here."

The sun is setting so he shouldn't be uncomfortable for too long.

"There's a sound system for the back, but I haven't figured it out yet. It must take a staff of ten to keep this place going when it's in full occupancy."

"Nothing like this, I hope," she says, checking to make sure she has service. The phone finishes reacquiring the signal and the time comes up.

"..."

"Wait, go back. Read that again?"

"..."

"That. Yes, that will do nicely. And the guy has it bad for --?"

"..."

"Oh cards. Oh this should be easy. Thank you Barry. Email me the details will you? You're a doll!" She makes kissy noises at the phone and snaps it shut, smiling like the cat who just caught the canary.
