Manager's Suite, The Arms Hotel, Saturday morning [6/6]

[montecito_east]

Mary didn't feel like going to work today. It was a pleasant day, and she opened up the windows and the sliding glass doors of her balcony to enjoy the sweet fragrance of the flowers that were blooming all over the island.

She pulled out a stack of DVDs, all romantic comedies, and tried to decide which movies she should watch today.

For the second time this week, Dani was making the walk of shame, and this time, she was only wearing a bikini. She had figured she was in the clear when she made it through the lobby without spotting Mary, but she wasn't totally prepared to step into the suite's living room and run into her roommate.

"Oh, hi," she said, trying to avoid the other woman's eyes. "I, uh, think I'll got take a quick shower. Don't mind me."

"It's a little early to go swimming, isn't it?" asked Mary, puzzled. Then she remembered last night's radio, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. "Wait a minute... You didn't even come home last night, did you? This is the second time this week, Dani!"

"Well, thanks. It's nice to see that someone is keeping score for me," said Dani in a sarcastic tone of voice. "At least I'm getting out of here and enjoying myself instead of weeping over Tom Hanks movies."

"I happen to like Tom Hanks movies!" said Mary. "And at least I'm not fooling around with different guys and giving myself a reputation."
