It was a rather busy week, and Friday came before Isabel knew it.

On Friday, the crew managed to wrap up everything around three in the afternoon, and Isabel returned to the hotel after that.

The first thing she did was take a hot bath. Then, she made sure to apply lotion and doused herself in her favorite perfume. She picked out a dress that hugged her slender waist and accentuated her figure before sitting by the window to wait for Roland to visit.
