Day 3
Harry groggily opened his eyes to find himself alone in the bed. There was sunlight seeping through the gap in the curtains and he could hear the water running in the shower. He rubbed his eyes and heard the water stop and seconds later Diana came into the bedroom. She was still damp from the shower and her wet hair was pulled back behind her head by a bright red barrette.
DAY 4
Harry woke before Diana and figured it must still be early as the room was still relatively dark. After a quick and necessary visit to the bathroom he walked to the windows and opened the curtains slightly. It was dark and overcast and the rain was hammering down. He knew the weather in Scotland could always be that unpredictable. One day over thirty degrees and the next chilly and raining.

I had arrived in London, bleary eyed after my nonstop flight. Fortunately, I had traveled light for my conference and customs was a breeze. As I waited in the taxi line, my phone buzzed.
"What will your room number be?"
My face got flushed and I let out a deep sigh. I had hoped the other people in line hadn't noticed.
