was trying to be nice and wanted to treat her to something special.
“Well, thank you, David. Then I’m sure I will enjoy it all the more. The hotel does look lovely.”
Their room was fantastic. David had booked the best they had, a room overlooking the lake, and Eve was more than impressed. He’d asked for a bottle of champagne to be there when they arrived and he was relieved to see it was. He didn’t want anything to go wrong while they were staying on Rottnest Island.
Eve was delighted to see the champagne and thoughts of Sophie were gradually disappearing from her mind. She didn’t think for one moment that David had been unfaithful. He was too much of a gentleman to do anything like that, but just going out with her felt like a betrayal to Eve, not least because going to lunch and spending an afternoon with Sophie meant nearly as much to David as sleeping with the woman. .
“David, you have thought out this getaway marvelously.” Eve said, smiling. “The champagne is a wonderful touch. Shall we open it now? It’s in an ice bucket and feels nicely chilled.”
“I thought you wanted to rush out and see the island. You’ve been desperate to see that quokka, haven’t you? After all, this is one of the few places that you can see that marsupial.”
“We’ve got a couple of days haven’t we? I’m sure the quokka isn’t going anywhere. I don’t think they can swim, can they?”
Eve went and put her arms around David and started kissing him. As usual, he couldn’t resist her. For a moment, Sophie flitted through his mind, but then he dismissed her. She had never given him the same thrills Eve gave him. However, he pushed her away a little.
“I’ll open the bottle first, shall I?”
“I think you’d better before I get carried away,” Eve grinned.
However, after one glass and a lot more kissing, the quokka and the rest of Rottnest Island were completely forgotten as Eve unbuttoned David’s shirt and he very willingly let her.

Two hours later Eve woke up and saw David still sleeping next to her. She smiled, but then realized how hungry she was. However, she poured herself some more champagne, not wanting it to go to waste and then got up and went to have a shower and re-do her make up. She decided to let David sleep a little longer as he didn’t take as long as she did to get ready.
As Eve was doing her make-up, David woke up and came and put his arms around Eve. He started to kiss her neck.
“Mmm, that feels good, but you’d better stop otherwise we’ll never get out of this room.”
“That wouldn’t be such a bad thing, would it?” he whispered in her ear.
“I’m sure it would be wonderful,” Eve replied, turning round to face him and putting her arms around his neck, “However, we have come here to see the island, plus I’m hungry.”
“I suppose you’re right,” David said, pretending to look hurt. “Do you want to eat in the hotel?”
“No, I thought we’d have a nice dinner in the restaurant here, but we’d go out and have a baguette or something similar in Thompson Bay.”
“Ok. I’ll just go and get dressed.”
Eve sighed as she watched him go. It would have been lovely to spend the afternoon in bed. They could have ordered another bottle of champagne and she imagined it would be like being on their honeymoon, but it would be silly to stay in bed when there was so much to see and do on the island. There was always tonight after all.

Eve and David spent a very pleasant afternoon together on Rottnest Island. They found a cafe where they had a delicious baguette and then took a long walk out on one of the trails. Eve even suggested hiring bicycles the following day to go round the island. David was startled. He had no idea she could cycle.
“Yes, I used to cycle a lot when I was young and I still had a bike in London. I used to ride it if I just needed a few things from the shops. It was great exercise when I didn’t have time to go to
