Bette just turns around when she sees Jody getting up from her armchair. Bette feels a light disappointment inside and knows she needs to act quickly before the evening and her little game have finished without giving her the chance to finish it in her way. “Al, I have to go. I call you tomorrow.” She says in the phone and ends the call without waiting for an answer. She walks back to Jody, it looks like a casual walk on the outside, but on the inside Bette is feeling a haste to act. “ Sorry for the call.” Bette says when she returns to the chairs. Jody is already standing up, ready to leave. “You are going back to your room?” Bette asks, trying to make her voice sound light-minded, as if she is not disappointed. “Uh yes, I believe it is about bedtime for me.”Jody replies with her eyes on her watch. She does not want to look at Bette’s face, she feels that her eyes might show some reluctance to leave. “Yes, I guess you are right, I had no idea it was this late.” Bette replies glancing at her watch. “I will go as well, let’s take the elevator.” Bette replies as she starts walking slowly to the door with Jody. Her brain is making over-time about how to handle this situation.

“What floor are you staying?” Bette asks light-minded again as she pushes the button for the elevator. “ “16^th” Jody replies. ‘ This must be an omen’ Bette thinks while a small smile appears on her face. “So am I” she replies to Jody. Her eyes try to recognize the reaction on Jody’s face but her face shows nothing. Jody is doing a good job to keep her feeling away on the outside but on the inside, her heart skips a beat when she hears Bette’s reply.’Now what?’ she says to herself. She decides to wait and see what will happen when they get out of the elevator on the 16^th floor.

In the elevator, Bette knows she needs to take action now. “I enjoyed the evening and I want to thank you for it.” She says softly. Jody looks into Bette’s eyes and feels the warmth going through her body and she knows it is not because of the small space in the elevator. “Me too, it was a very pleasant acquaintance.” Jody tries to be formal to create a wall between them. But Bette doesn’t let that happen and she holds her hand out, she wants to feel Jody’s soft hand. She has seen that the elevator is almost at their floor, so she wants to have Jody’s hand in hers when the doors open. Jody takes Bette’s hand and then the doors open. Bette holds it, while she moves out of the elevator. “ You want to have a night cap in my room? I bought a very nice bottle on the airport.” Bette asks softly with her Bette Porter seductive voice. Jody’s mind is a bit blurry, she feels confusion and excitement, reluctance and urge all at the same time while Bette keeps her hand I hers waiting for her answer. “Okay” she finally hears herself saying as if her voice has an own will. And while Bette starts walking towards her room, Jody feels light in her head if she has a lack of oxygen in her brain, her heart beats faster with every inch they get closer to Bette’s room. She is aware of the step she taking but she is not able or willing to stop it and when Bette keeps the door open for her, she enters the room with a red blush on her cheeks and Bette has an encouraging soft smile on her face.
