This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Late in the afternoon, the two met Glenda and Karl in the hallway just before the entrance to the dining room. As they greeted each other, the other four guests walked out, smiled and spoke to them, asking Dessie and Phillip how their backpacking trip had gone. After a brief conversation, the guests went on to their suites and Dessie, Phillip, Karl and Glenda went into the dining room and over to the hot bar where they chose their meals.
Mia came out and asked if they minded if she ate with them. Of course they didn’t, and the group sat to eat and talk.
“So, tell us about your trip,” Karl insisted.
“Nothing much, other than getting struck by lightning,” Dessie said while trying to keep her face straight.

“Were you hurt?” Karl demanded.
Dessie stayed the grueling temporarily by saying, “Well, not exactly,” she replied as her gaze locked with her husband’s.
“What do you mean, ‘not exactly,’” Karl snapped. “Maybe we need to postpone our meal and move to our suite where we can give the two of you a thorough checkup.”
“Where was the initial point of contact?” Glenda demanded of Dessie.
Dessie’s face turned the most interesting shade of red that Phillip had seen in a while. Neither of the Müllers was blind, and they were far from stupid, so they noticed immediately...
Have a goodun;
