The young couple head back to the hotel after spending most of the day at the beach. It was a delightful summer day and a strange smell rose from the local fish shop. The plants in the lobby hadn't been watered in a long time. The janitor took his leave three weeks earlier and was now residing at the local tavern.
-Good afternoon, wasn't it sweetie?
-It was agreeable, she replies, but the sun was too hot.
- We could've moved towards the trees.
- But then I would've needed to walk down to the water.
- We didn't have to stay, you know
- But I wanted to!
- Good evening Mr. Towns, the clerk interrupted, your room has been cleaned and we managed to find a bottle of whiskey like you asked... it was not easy to find!
- don't worry, garcon, come up at my room later, I'll make it worth your while.
They head down the hall to the last door. After entering the room, the young woman asks:
-Couldn't you have paid him right away?
- It's a fine bottle that brave man found me.
- Is it your brand?
- No, but it's a fine bottle.
- Why didn't you pay them right away?
- Don't worry sweetie, I'll pay the man. Would you pour me a glass?
- Do you want ice?
- Yes sweetie. He walks to the window. It was quite a nice day wasn't?
- it was pleasing.
