It started off as like a normal day at the hotel. Gwen and Daniel were at school, Rose checking the mail, Yorgo making breakfast for the guests, and Simon and Hadley carrying on a conversation in the lobby front desk.
Rose came in with a small stack of letters.
"Any for me?" Simon asked.
Rose went through them hoping there wouldn't for her own amusement.
"Hadley, Hadley, Me, Hadley..."
Rose trailed off as she saw a letter for Simon.
"Actually yes there is."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let me have it!" Simon demanded trying to grab it.
Rose gave it to him.
"Ok ok, here you go. Gee you didn't have to be so bossy."
Rose gave Simon his letter.
"It's from England."
Simon opened the letter. He stared at it until Hadley spoke.
"Simon, is everything ok?"
"No," Simon said with a look of sadness.
"What happened?"
"I need a moment. Excuse me."
Simon left for the kitchen. Yorgo was there.
"Morning Mr. Ferguson!"
"Morning Yorgo."
Simon laid his head down. Hadley and Rose found him.
"Simon, what's a matter?" Hadley asked concerned.
"You remember my big sister Sarah?"
"Of course I do. I haven't seen or heard from her in twenty years!"
"She died."
Hadley gasped. Yorgo did too. Rose, for once, expressed empathy.
