Escape for the Summer
“A beam of bright sunshine sliced through faded yellow cheesecloth curtains and filled the room with lemony light, while a breeze sweet with summer grass kissed her cheeks. The incessant rumble of city traffic she was used to had been replaced with the cry of gulls, and for a split second she was thirteen again and tucked up in her attic bedroom at Ocean View with days and days of school holidays ahead of her. The leaping of her heart when she realised that she really was in Rock – and that Tom,... London and the whole hideous mess had been left behind – was on a par with that start-of-the-summer joy.Andi stretched luxuriously in her narrow bunk, bathing in the sunshine like a cat and loving the cool breeze that swept in beneath the curtains. Although the mattress was hard and the covers a little on the damp side, her sleep had been sweet and heavy, as though the salty air had drugged her. As she stretched and yawned she realised that this was the first night for a while that she hadn’t woken up with her heart rate doing a tango.MoreLess
