Arranged
“It’s way too early to get up, but I can tell by how awake I am that I won’t fall back asleep, so I kick off the covers and pull back the drapes. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. No clouds in the sky, and the ocean is still calm.
A nice day for a wedding.
I open the closet and look at the dress I bought the day before I left. It’s cream-colored cotton, with a light brown pattern of leaves and vines running over it. A black ribbon ties around the waist. The skirt is loose and flowi...ng and falls below my knees. It’s not the wedding dress I always imagined, but it’s pretty enough.
I look at the clock by the bed. Six-twenty.
Christ. This waiting is going to be torture.
I put on a baby-blue two-piece, a cover-up, and some flip-flops and leave my room. It’s already hot, despite the early hour, and the heat is bringing out the aroma of the bougainvillea. I breathe in the lemony scent as I slip down the path.
The pool is a large kidney shape surrounded by deck chairs and palm trees.MoreLess
