The woman slips into the pool as stealth-like as a panther. 
Ensuring she's alone, she allows herself a moment to relax. 
Her eyes close, and her breath becomes shallow.

The couple enter the bar and take a seat by the window. 
Clutching cocktails and feeling at ease, 
now that they're so close to their goal, 
they carefully scan the room for their contact.

a smile lights up her face. They've made it. 
Everything went according to plan.

We see the woman from the bar enjoying breakfast in bed, 
together with her trusted accomplice. 
Their eyes meet, and they smile. 
The woman winks to him as she pulls out the 
real diamond from the bedside table draw. 
The ruse is complete. The thief grins mischievously to the camera.
