Mag-log inThat night, long after the last of the guests had left for their rooms, Andrew and I returned to the presidential suite to find that the staff had decorated it in preparation for our stay. All the décor, right down to the bed sheets, had been switched out for matching red and gold pieces. The light

It hugged my curves in all the right places while still gently brushing against the ground like a low-hanging cloud.
