To the lobby

The elevator is too bright so you keep your eyes closed just enjoying the AC blowing cool air on your face.

The doors open into the lobby, the receptionist looks up, giving you a warm smile. 'Long night?'

"Yes," you strain through a very dry throat. "I'm looking for coffee."

"Ah si si. May I recommend my favourite café? Down the road on the left, you'll find it at the end of the street. They've got comfy sofas to fall into."

"Or, if you want a seat with a view of the ocean, you can catch the bus down to harbour. Cafe 'Tapas Tavern' has weak coffee but a great view."

"Thank you, erm gracias." You give him a smile which seems to make him slightly excited. You think that's odd but move on anyway. Opening the front door, you cringe at the sun light.
