The laptop closed. Mandy Murray was done with her work. As a travel agent, she got to stay home, with her dog Ginger, a 6 year-old toy Pomeranian. He was very small, and not much work.
"Well, Ginger, I'm done with work." Mandy said. Ginger barked and leapt up on her lap, and Mandy fell backwards into her bed. She would've fallen asleep earlier if Ginger had stopped licking her face. She fell asleep after 11:00, Ginger shortly after.
"Mr. Denton, hi. I've booked your flights to Houston and from there to Fiji. I heard the Marriott was a nice place. Yes, it's ready. No, I haven't booked a room. Yes, I already said that. Okay, bye." Mandy ended her call with Mr. Denton, the man who hired her to be his agent. He is married with three kids, who are grown up. Next she called Gerald Sands, owner of the Marriott in Fiji.

The pillows were plain white, and a black blanket with a white starfish in the middle was folded across the foot of the bed. "Perfect!" Mandy yelled and laughed. Ginger gave a questioned look, then went back to sleep. She forwarded it to Mr. Denton, and then called him. "Sam, I found the perfect room!"
