Why hadn’t she taken a vacation sooner? If she had known it would be something like this then she should haven done so a lot sooner.

Sinking deeper into the chair, she let her long form drape lazily across the furniture as she rested in the shade. She had never been able to enjoy this side of Barcelona before. Usually, if she traveled, it was on the hunt for something. Now it was solely a trip for herself. Some time away to rest and step away from her usual hunting business.
