The film crew took advantage of the rain to finish up most of the rainy scenes.

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.

The thought of the though slightly juvenile, yet sweet and innocent surprise that Roland prepared for her last week made her smile. She wondered if he would prepare something similar for her again this week.

It was already getting dark outside, and even the rain was gradually stopping.

She watched as some of the film crew went out together to hang out for the weekend, then she watched as they returned to the hotel. She waited endlessly, but there was no sight of Roland’s car pulling up at the junction.
