The plot is thickening! Chloe needs a break because she finds her husband Phillip breaking his promise to "not talk about work". Amanda needs to get out of the villa because she hates the Murrays. So, Phillip takes Sam and Nat to a beach for the day and Amanda takes her children to a petting zoo. That leaves... Hugh and Chloe...the old love birds...
Chloe starts going stir crazy and walks right out of the house and into a town quite a few miles away. In this town, the Spanish guitars strumming and the smell of cooking garlic capture her in a moment of perfection that she desperately needed. She walks into a dress shop and craves to look fabulous like the Spanish women with their red flowers in plaited hair and long, colorful skirts. The shop keeper sees her staring longingly at a blue skirt. The keeper hands her a sleek, and barely there dress that Chloe at first rejects. However, once she is forced to wear it, she finds herself in a state of newfound confidence. She buys the dress and discards her old, brown cotton dress and saunters into a little bar with stucco walls and small wooden tables.
But...little did Chloe know
Hugh had woken late in the morning and decided to take a drive. He came to a small town with dusty, yet charming streets full of flower sellers, and indigenous rhythms. Realizing he hadn't eaten in a while he chose a small, yet friendly bar to have a class of wine. He looked up when Chloe walked in. She looked just as stunning as she did 16 years ago.
And...you can guess what happened after a couple of drinks and music and years of distance. This is NOT good. Hopefully things will clean up a bit by the end of this story.
