Letters at midnight Kindle Edition

Elias and Yara share a room at the “Sharm El-Sheikh Resort” in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. They live together, yet never see each other: he works as an excursion manager during the day, while she works as a night receptionist.And yet, something special begins to grow. Through notes they leave on each other’s pillows, they slowly get to know one another.What starts with a simple question from Elias, asking her to leave a sock lying around as a sign of life and her reply requesting white milk chocolate, gradually develops into an intimate bond on paper.When a change in the work schedule suddenly gives them thirty minutes together each day, they finally come face to face and so do their feelings.Soon, thirty minutes prove to be far from enough. They spend hours talking on the landline at the reception desk.Until guest relations manager Farida discovers what is going on.

All the money he had saved to fulfil his dream of becoming a film director is about to disappear.And more importantly: what will happen to Yara, the love of his life, whom he had to leave behind without a proper goodbye?When he returns to the hotel, hopelessly in love, Farida greets him with a broad smile: Yara has returned to Belgium.Was Yara’s love nothing more than a game?How will he ever find her again without her number?
