The worst thing imaginable that could happen to a divorced, overworked, mother of two who had lost 130 lbs. is to book a weekend on an exclusive island resort with your bestie and her dad and only to find out it's a famous couples retreat. She was waxed smooth with a body she's never been comfortable enough to put in bathing suit and no single men in sight. Shya, her best friend wouldn't do the vacation without her dad since his cancer went into remission .This just could not get any worse. As they were checking in Mr. Kelly was checking out a young couple making out by a fountain. She had never spent a lot of time with her friend's Dad. The look he gave the young couple was rather fierce. That's exactly what she needed. Someone to look at her with fierce eyes. After coming so close to death they were lucky to have him and she didn't mind Shya wanting to spend time with him. She had lost both her parents long ago and she didn't blame her friend at all.
They left to their suite with the promise that the manager would look into it, and dinners would be 'on the house'. The three adjoining rooms were amazing, and spacious. The fruit and flowers set the tone of relaxation and the champagne set the mood. As she unpacked she looked through the little shorts, skirts, and skimpy little one piece suits. Never had she been so bold. Never had she wasted so much time. She didn't even like shopping. She tossed on a new pair of lace panties, a tiny skirt, and a tank, and left the bra off. What the hell. She came to show off the curves she was very proud of earning and the lack of approval from the opposite sex was not going to stop her. They had about 20 minutes before dinner and they decided to have their first dinner in. They would relax and chat, and then later walk along the beach in the moonlight. With the plan set they relaxed into comfortable chatter retailing Mr. Kelly with stories of dating and failed relationships. Shya did not seem to be afraid to say anything to her dad, and 15 minutes and three drinks later she had lost her self-consciousness and they kept Shya's dad laughing. She learned his name was Luke and he was currently dating a beautiful woman who wanted to get serious while he had already had his one true love. When she died, he didn't feel like a forever and ever again. The girls teased that that was just like a guy not wanting to commit and he said to Shya, with very serious eyes, no one could replace your mother. It gave Alora a warm gushy feeling.
