fingers grazing over the keys in a quick and expert manner.
     
    She attempted to search for options that sounded exciting, foreign and interesting. She was still on the fence about packing up and taking off for a complete vacation because she didn't want to take any time off.
     
    Something caught her eye on the screen, as she moved her cursor towards the link that read something about a vacation home for the summer. Coincidently enough, the location was only an hour and a half away from her current residence in Santa Monica.
     
    Amiira read the listing briefly, before clicking through the pictures. What she saw was stunning. She'd lived in southern California for most of her life, so she was no stranger to gorgeous views and pristine expanses. But the layout of the beach house was particularly breathtaking; that coupled with it being right by the water and near some of the most spectacular cliffs in that area, increased her excitement about the prospect. There were six rooms total in the expansive beach home, each one with its own adjoining bathroom. The owner was renting out five of the rooms for the summer, as that was the peak time for tourism. Although with the exemplary weather year round, the region was already frequented consistently.
     
    Amiira clicked back on the original section of the listing and continued to read about the specifications and amenities. It seemed like the perfect fit. What sealed the deal for her was the last bit of the text at the very bottom.
     
    Must be an established adult. No college kids. Fully vested with a job type grown up. Late 20s/30s preferably.
     
    Amiira smiled at that and silently nodded her appreciation. If she was going to spend potentially every weekend around people in a palatial beach house, they'd need to most definitely be of the mature and autonomous variety.
     
    “Yes, this might be just the thing I need.”
     

Chapter 2
     
    Amiira finished applying her mascara as she contemplated her new adventure. She'd have a couple more days in the week to work and then come Friday, she would be headed south on the freeway, to her new home away from home for the summer. She was pleased that she had found something right up her ally. She could spend her weekends laying out on the beach, drinking Mai Tai's or playing cards, working on darkening her already naturally caramel tinged complexion and going shopping. She'd be completely rejuvenating herself in order to face the work week ahead.
     
    A change of pace and scenery was all that she could think about and she couldn't wait for it to be a part of her reality. She'd be in a different city, while not incredibly far away, she'd be surrounded by people that she didn't know and who didn't know her. It was the perfect medicine for what was ailing her. Some fun was most definitely necessary.
     
    Although the weekly price for the room had been a bit steep, she took the plunge because she felt that she truly deserved it. A change in speed and direction, a different vantage point. So even if she did have to dip into her savings a bit, it'd be worth it. After all, that's what she got for choosing a place that was directly on the water. Paying for a view and accessibility to the ocean was common place.
     
    Amiira considered herself relatively financially stable; she had an amazing position at one of Los Angeles' top consulting firms. But she wasn't necessarily earning as much as she thought she deserved, and she wasn't moving up the hierarchical chain of command in her company, as fast as she would have liked. There were also days when she doubted if this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Amiira had always been ambitious ever since she was a wee little girl, and that characteristic, which had been instilled in her since birth by her parents, both from very different backgrounds, was something that was etched into her being.
     
    She was persistent and she was tough.
     
    Her position in the firm had led to one of the
