Opis

Two travellers -a man and a lady-chance to sit side by side on a long-haul flight from East Africa to Bangkok (Thailand). After formal introductions, starting at the served-meal, the two soon get interested in each other's work, and then in each other's lives. One things leads to another and, before they realize it, the flight from Nairobi to Bangkok has an emergency stopover in a tiny island in the Indian Ocean, Male. Constraints in accommodation compel the airline to use pair-seating arrangements on the plane to slot into double-rooms in the hotels. The man (Justin) and the lady (Alice) have to share a room. Initially Alice squirms at the idea of sharing a room with a stranger, and requests that at least an extra bed be put into the room. However, the chat on the plane led Alice, who had checked in with light personal luggage but heavy emotional baggage, to believe that Justin was not just a man of character but was perhaps someone she could trust to do more for her. Asking for the extra bed was perhaps a ruse to give Alice time to work out her plan to entice Justin to get closer to her. Alice's problems were really hiding the skeletons in her cupboard, especially her liaisons with John in her workplace in Africa. But the John-experience had developed a sort of emotional-bravado in her that encouraged her to take the first step to get close to Justin. Alice's Plan B of sobs and a sexy nightie got Justin, a novice to emotional-play, to come on board. All the rigors of training both in religious principles and in Justin's responsible UN position came a cropper against the charms of a beautiful woman. Alice literally got her man: fully and completely hers. Justin's world collapses but he doesn't lose face. His apparent fall from that mighty level of austerity and asceticism is well cushioned by the wonderfully compensating companionship of not just a lovely woman but a person who taught him some genuine values of love. In a nutshell, it is a story of love: all beautifully worked out in a hotel room, in the small island of Male, in the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean -all starting off from Nairobi in East Africa on a Flight to Bangkok in Thailand. It is literally a story of Romance in the Air.
