<strong>Jessica Hammond</strong><br/><br/>I strode in step behind Tabitha, my mind wandering as we entered the hotel lobby. She was so excited about this vacation, so insistent that it would be great and so much fun... and I agreed with her. I needed the break, and badly. Maintaining perfect grades at university was painful, but I'd come this far and I wasn't going to fail now. To keep it up, I needed these vacations to cool off. My parents disagreed; dear old dad would have me working at the firm over the summer if he had his way.<br/><br/>I shook my head. He was out of the picture... no sense in letting him stress me out even when he was a world away. Tabitha had finished checking us in, and I graciously took the keycard from her, following her to our room. The moment we were in there, she began to strip, getting herself changed. I admired her free spirit, as well as her body, but my mind was still preoccupied. What would my father think of this if he knew? Hmph.<br/><br/>Again, I shook the thoughts out of my head.<em>Just let yourself be happy and carefree for once,</em>I thought, opening a suitcase and grabbing a new outfit. Changing myself into a plain sun dress and sunglasses, "I'm famished myself," I replied. "Let's see if we can't get a nice meal here. I've always enjoyed Greek food."
