  • The salt-tinged breeze off the Gulf carried the sounds of splashing, distant music, and the shrieks of college students. The Azure Cove Resort was spring break chaos incarnate, a kaleidoscope of tanned skin, neon swimwear, and plastic cups. But in Villa Seven, a luxurious three-story beachfront property, a different kind of chaos reigned.

    Vanessa, stretched out on a lounger, gave a loud, unladylike burp.
