As the Villa comes into focus, you're shocked by the beauty of it all – the wide, bright skies of blue, the waving tops of lush trees, the flutter of hummingbirds and the singsong of bees. The air feels warm but the breeze carries the smell of the sea and a bit of distant chlorine.
Kicked straight from the wisp of a memory, you find yourself startled by the sound of approaching bangle bracelets. Your heels click on the floor beneath you, and an unfamiliar face rushes to push open the Villa's front door.

She bounds forward, light brown curls bouncing with each little skip. Her eyes are bright, and she immediately pulls you into a hug. Her hips bump against yours before she pulls away, and you can sneak a glance at her features.
Her eyes are a bright, soft blue, a curious contrast to the chestnut of her skin. She's a bit taller than you, taller still in heels wrapped around her ankles. She wobbles slightly.
"There you are! We were wondering when you'd get here."
You're acutely aware of the cameras staged around you both, meant to document and pick apart your every reaction. It takes you a minute to push the thoughts from your mind.
"But anyway, I'm Dana. It's great to meet you," she says.
For a second, your eyes meet in a minute of curious mutual understanding. Dana is looking at you as if trying to assess who you are, really, away from the spotlights and prying eyes. Your lips curl into the slightest smile. The look Dana is giving you, whether she means to or not, is a little familiar.
"But here I am, not even catching the name of the most beautiful girl in the Villa," Dana says quickly, almost nervously, as if to fill the silence. "Please, by all means. Enlighten me!"
You can't help but laugh at the sheer silliness of Dana's sweet singsong voice.
"It's Mara," you say. "But my friends call me MC."
"MC it is," says Dana decisively. She grins at you, and the moment between you has passed. "It's great to meet ya, MC. I've been a bag of nerves this entire day, I've gotta be honest."
