Vivian sat on the aeroplane, looking down through the window at the floating masses of clouds drifting serenely beneath. The plane was so much higher up in the sky now, so the rooftops of the houses were no longer in view. She flexed the gold watch on her wrist to check the time; it was exactly half past 7 p.m. In about 30 minutes to an hour, she will be at the Vegas Executive Hotel in Las Vegas meeting with her newest hook-up interest, Rod2020; that was his profile name. He had suggested they meet up at that particular hotel, and she had agreed. His profile picture on the dating site where they connected showed he was perhaps in his 30s and quite tall and good-looking. However, he was nothing compared to Adrian, and she was not sure he was even going to be as good in bed as Adrian was.
