Legend says a 1920s cabaret singer, Lola La Sirena , died in Room 7 after her lover abandoned her for a wealthy heiress. In the modern storyline, a lonely groundskeeper named Benicio begins finding fresh roses on the piano every morning. He eventually sees Lola’s reflection in the tidal pool. Their romance is chaste yet profound—he leaves her letters; she makes the chandelier swing in reply. In the bittersweet climax, Benicio learns the only way to free her spirit is to sing the song she never got to finish. He does so, and she vanishes with a kiss of sea foam. Critics call this “the most heartbreakingly beautiful subplot in contemporary romantic fiction.”
