PAULINA ROSTAKOVA’S ADVENTURES
JULY 31
5:51 a.m.
Astana, Kazakhstan, motel room with my new hunky teammate and make-believe husband
Man alive, what a start to my first experience abroad yesterday was! As if the horror of finding Dixon’s car missing wasn’t enough, Melody ending up at the hospital was just icing on an abysmal day. Luckily, once Melody was taken care of, things started improving, although I didn’t have confirmation of that until a few minutes ago when I got Tessa’s texts.

Melody recovering at last. Stomach pumped last night when she went into shock. Doctors say it wasn’t food poisoning. Something eels. Could be real poison.

Holy crapballs! Poison eels? I didn’t see them at the lunch, but wasn’t seeing much but my pretend husband
