Gia opens the door after she retracted the room key. She steps into the room and takes a deep cleansing breath. Joan is steps behind her, still struggling with her luggage.

Gia places her suitcase next to her bed. She opens the suitcase and removes her night shirt and changes into it. Once she is all comfortable, she crawls into bed. Meanwhile Joan is doing the same exact thing next to her bed.

The two of them get into bed and prepare for a long long nap. The jet lag will be easier to adjust to, once they get adequate rest. Within fifteen minutes, the room is silent, except for the gentle hum, of their collective breathing.
Hours pass and they don’t move an inch. Their bodies are frozen in their restorative state.
Every now and then they twitch, in reaction to whatever dream they are experiencing.
By early evening Gia slowly wakes up. She looks over at Joan, who is still sound asleep. Gia makes her way to the bathroom to take a shower. The sound of the water finally wakes up Joan.
