Running

Untitled Part 1

Hanna made her way around the hotel's reception area checking out that everything was ok for the new investor's arrival. She had been working out in the Fiji hotel for almost five years now, slowly making her way to the the top after starting out as a receptionist. She had spent all of her time working never allowing herself to truly connect to anyone. As for dating she kept herself away from anything relationship related.

As she finished checking the reception area she handed out to her assistant all the data she had about the tourist groups that would stay over the week-end in the hotel as well as any organized trips that they might feel like having.

After checking out the time she realized she was running late for she was supposed to meet the hotel manager and their client in the hotel's restaurant in less than an hour. Rushing to her private cabin on the beach she hopped inside the shower and quickly washed herself before she got dressed and after quickly applying a touch of make up on her face she made her way to the restaurant.

Once she met Andrew her manager they both took a seat waiting for their client. Hanna studied the menu before she decided to have some white sauced pasta alongside a glass of wine.

Luckily for her Andrew didn't realize that there was something wrong so he simply introduced them to each other. The evening grew painfully longer and longer as Caleb made sure to keep his thoughts to himself all the while carefully studying his wife. Finally deciding that she would have no more of it Hanna excused herself and left the table to go walk on the beach.

Settling herself on the sand letting the water wash her feet she simply stared into space as she considered Caleb's ulterior motives for his visit, because she had no doubt it wasn't due to a potential investment. Rubbing her arms because she felt suddenly cold despite the summer night she regretted having forgotten her jacket inside her room before she left.

She was taken by surprise when she felt someone put a jacket on her shoulders. Taking in the familiar scent she kept her eyes locked on the sea waves while Caleb sat down next to her. Refusing to talk to him Hanna wrapped herself in his coat before she standing up and deciding to walk away not giving him the chance to talk to her.

However Caleb's hand wrapped around her wrist keeping her in place. Finally glancing over to him Hanna froze as she took in the silent fury that was running through his eyes, sighing,she mentally prepared herself for the argument that she and Caleb were apparently headed into...
