The crisp ringing tone threw their romance out the window. Bonnie's head started to clear. Her face was still slightly red when she reached out and pushed against his chest. "Get up. I have to pick up the call."

"It's okay. I drove here." She waved at him with her back turned to him and marched out of his villa.

He watched as she left and recomposed himself.
