Summary: After a long day Lucas and Ros reach their hotel room, and yes, there's only one bed.

"Thank goodness that’s over,” Lucas North said.  He and Ros Myers had reached their hotel room and Ros inserted the key card.

“Agreed,” Ros said.  “Still at least we’ve achieved what we came for.  Now all I want is to have a shower and go to sleep.”

“Don’t you want to help finish the wine?” Lucas asked, producing the bottle from his coat pocket.

Ros laughed.  “You didn’t bring the glasses as well did you?”

“No, but I’m sure we’ll manage.  Unless you’re too posh to drink wine out of coffee mugs.”

“I can think of worse things.”

They went into the room and dumped their overnight bags on the floor.

“Oh,” Lucas said.  “It’s a double bed.  That’s okay I can sleep in the chair.”

“What did you expect?  We’re supposed to be a married couple.  Jo could hardly make the booking specifying two single beds at either end of the room.”

“No, but it could have been two singles pushed together.  That would have been okay.”

“Lucas, it’s a kingsize bed.  For one night, I think we can manage.”

“If you’re sure.”

“Completely.  Now, pour the wine while I have my shower.”

Once Ros had showered, Lucas did the same.  He found she had already got into bed when he returned, so walked round and climbed in the other side.

“Please tell me it’s not one of those occasions when two people are forced to share a bed and then realise that they’re meant to be together,” Lucas said.

“You’ve been reading Jo’s trashy romances again, haven’t you?  Well, I can assure you this isn’t one of them.  Now lie down and go to sleep!”

Ros lay down and turned so her back was to Lucas.

He did the same and then muttered, “You could say we’ve got each other’s backs.”

Ros sat up and hit him with her pillow.
