Alaia bumps into Franco in the hotel hallway, just outside his room.
"Fancy seeing you here," she hums, and he smiles when he looks at her. He's really quite pretty - his eyes are a beautiful shade of hazel brown, and the smile on his lips is absolutely dazzling. Alaia really does wonder why he's single, and why Ollie's recruited for her help, when she really thinks that Franco could easily woo anyone out there. "I guess we're staying on the same floor."

"Heading back to my room," she replies. "Just down the hall." she points down the corridor, and Franco looks in that direction.
"Well, now I know where to find you, no?" he hums, corner of his lips quirked up into a small smirk. "I suppose you do," she replies.

"Sure," she says, and Franco lights up. "Let me just grab something from my room, yeah? I'll meet you here."
Franco nods. "I'll be waiting,"
She flashes him a smile before walking down to her room, and Franco's eyes follow her before she closes the door.
