I switch on the air-conditioning in the room because, immediately, it’s too hot and stuffy with the windows closed, and I welcome the gentle whir that drowns out the slapping noises Joy makes outside.
The blouse clings to the small of my back in the humidity—perhaps she had a point there. While I slip out of my formal clothes, I contemplate changing my flight, because this holiday will leave me more stressed than when I first arrived. In the end, it’s stubbornness that makes me stay. I can wait Joy out. She’ll only be here for a few days and after she’s left, the sense of relief and long-awaited solitude will bring me an altogether new kind of peace of mind.
