The young couple head back to the hotel after spending most of the day at the beach. It was a delightful summer day and a strange smell rose from the local fish shop. The plants in the lobby hadnt been watered in a long time. The janitor took his leave three weeks earlier and was now residing at the local tavern.
-Good afternoon, wasnt it sweetie?
-It was agreeable, she replies, but the sun was too hot.
– We couldve moved towards the trees.
– But then I wouldve needed to walk down to the water.
– We didnt have to stay, you know
– But I wanted to!
– Good evening Mr. Towns, the clerk interrupted, your room has been cleaned and we managed to find a bottle of whiskey like you asked it was not easy to find!
– dont worry, garcon, come up at my room later, Ill make it worth your while.
They head down the hall to the last door. After entering the room, the young woman asks:
-Couldnt you have paid him right away?
– Its a fine bottle that brave man found me.
– Is it your brand?
– No, but its a fine bottle.
– Why didnt you pay them right away?
– Dont worry sweetie, Ill pay the man. Would you pour me a glass?
– Do you want ice?
