A romantic break, day 1 [MF]

Carla and Henry were hit with a wall of oven hot air as they stepped outside the Mediterranean airport for the start of their long awaited holiday. The heat was an odd relief as it meant they were finally able to relax, and forget about the stress they left behind. The light breeze struggled to cool them but it was only a short wait for the air-conditioned taxis.

Carla spun to Henry, “I’m so excited to see what our hotel room is like! I can’t believe you’ve managed to kept it a secret for so long”

“I know it has been tough! I’m sorry I could only afford a couple nights stay here but I’m sure you will enjoy it! I’m just glad I could at least give you one surprise for our romantic break together.”

“You don’t have to be sorry! I’m sure I will love it and anyway it will be nice to go exploring for a bit afterwards!”

Carla reached up and gave Henry a quick kiss before their taxi pulled up, leaving behind the subtle taste of her new lipstick, that made him eager for more.
