Leaving


A click and the radio came on.  Set to low volume it took a moment for the sleeping couple to register the sound.

 

“Mm, I suppose I should get up.  Why are we flying out so early?”

“I got us the best deal this way.”  Her husband’s sleepy voice sounded in the dark.

“Right now, I’m not sure it’s worth it, 2:30 in the morning and minus 10 degrees outside.”

“Think about palm trees and beaches.  We will be enjoying sunshine and ocean breezes by dinner time.”

 

She smiled, threw back the covers and climbed out into the chilly room.
