Surrounded by a crowd she stood alone in the dining
room. Her travel companions were still
in bed sleeping off the excesses of the night before.
They had gone to the night clubs on board the cruise
ship, dancing and drinking until the wee hours of the night, waking her up with
lights and laughter. Her headache having
faded with sleep she greeted them with false moans and pulled her pillow over
her head.
When a growling stomach insisted on her finding
breakfast, she slipped out without disturbing their slumber and joined the
throng of fellow passengers at the buffet.
