“Hey, honey.”  Dana said quietly.  Her throat was dry and her voice was a bit rough.  She softly rubbed Alice’s cheek with her thumb.  “How are you feeling?”

Alice gave a wry grin.  “Like we spent ten hours sparring and then drank a bottle of vodka.” 

Dana couldn’t help but give a small chuckle.  “That good, huh?”  Alice just murmured an incoherent response as she snuggled closer to Dana.  Dana knew she should call for Brad so they could get checked out, but, she just wanted to enjoy this quiet moment with Alice for a few more minutes.  “How about you?”  Alice mumbled into her neck.

Although Dana thought briefly about lying, she didn’t think she could keep up the façade.  She just didn’t have the energy.  “I feel about the same.”  She rubbed Alice’s back and just relished the closeness.  She felt like crap, but, with Alice close it wasn’t nearly as bad.

“Dane?”

“What, babe?”  Dana answered with some concern.  Alice’s body had stiffened up a bit.

“Can you please look over at the other bed and tell me what you see?”

Dana turned her head slowly to look in the same direction Alice was.  She clearly saw Harrison and Shane in a classic spoon position.  It was obviously platonic, but, they looked awfully cuddly.

“What the fuck?”  Dana said softly.  She then heard Alice exhale and relax.

“Thank goodness.  I thought it was some weird aftereffect of the drug.”  Alice and Dana both started giggling and finally had to stop because it was starting to acerbate their soreness.  Dana pressed the call button.

Brad and Sam entered the room in seconds.  The double-take they both when they saw the bodies in the second bed had Dana and Alice giggling again.  The noise finally woke Harrison and Shane. 

Shane observed everyone staring at them with various expressions of humor and shock.  She removed Harrison’s arm from around her waist.  “Dude.  I told you to keep your hands to yourself.”  Everyone started laughing at Harrison’s befuddled look as he tried to indicate to Brad that nothing happened.  Shane swung out of bed and got to her feet.  Brad gave Harrison a wink of understanding as the other man fell back into the bed and rubbed his face.
