Chapter 21

• Twenty minutes later, Talia made her way out of the room. In the short corridor, straight ahead the open door allowed her to see into another bedroom. That bed appeared to be just as large as the one she had occupied.
• Was that his room? The nosey part of her wanted to go in for a little tour. She had thought that the one she was using was his because it smelled of him. But then again, he had been in there a few times when he looked after her. As she walked ahead a few steps, on her right was another room but with two single beds. The yacht was like a small luxurious three bedroom apartment, she could see its appeal. Why stay in a hotel when he had such a beautiful space? And even better — depending on who was asked — he could take his floating home anywhere in the wide, quiet ocean. Just thinking about her noisy neighbors, the loud car horns, and the kids playing in the alley, she could definitely see the appeal. If she wasn’t so afraid of being surrounded by nothing but water, she would seriously consider getting a water home.
• With that reminder, Talia swayed on her feet as she felt another dizzy spell. Her hands reached out to the close corridor walls to keep her steady. At least this time she barely felt nauseous. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, inhaling with her nose and exhaling with her mouth. Maybe she shouldn’t have watched Titanic a hundred times. Unlike others who watched the famed movie over and over again solely for the romance, she had an additional reason. She just couldn’t understand how no one saw the bungalow sized iceberg in their way. It was like walking into a tree with her eyes wide open and staring right at it.
