He woke up to flushed waves of early morning blue. This was one of the best and worst things about this apartment. The near 360 degree window coverage it provided it. Good views and good lighting, but sometimes he didn't want the good lighting.

She liked the idea of a stranger in an Airbnb in town. It felt more exciting than a local just doing a staycation , which was a word she'd never heard before. At first she thought she might want to do a staycation, but then she couldn't ignore just how...
