(Tina smiles) Well, ok then

They arrive at the hotel and walk together through the entrance doors and approach the counter. They are each attended to by one of the two receptionists on duty. Tina checks in and is ready to head to her room when she tunes into Bette’s conversation on the other end of the desk.

(Hotel clerk) Unfortunately since the room has not been paid for we need a credit card to be held against the room until check out

(Bette) Oh my God this can’t be happening

Tina looks over at her and then steps closer, turning her attention to the hotel clerk.

(Tina) You have my card, just put it against both rooms for now, we can sort out our individual payments on check out

The clerk glances between them.

(Tina) Will that take care of the issue?

(Hotel clerk) Yes, of course

(Tina smiles) Thank you

The clerk moves away and Tina looks over at Bette and shrugs. Bette examines her for a moment.

(Bette) Why are you being so nice to me?

Tina smiles.

(Tina) Well, I’m a pretty good judge of character

Tina picks up her bag and moves towards the clerk, who is gesturing for her to follow to her room. She talks over her shoulder to Bette as she moves away.

(Tina) And despite your grumpy exterior, I can tell that you are actually quite lovely

Tina smiles at her and Bette watches her leave, further intrigued by the beautiful woman.

The next morning, Tina sits having breakfast and reading a newspaper in a casual cafe with a view of the beach. Bette sees her as she is walking past and so enters and makes her way over to her table.

(Bette) Hi

Tina looks up at her and smiles.

(Tina) Hi, I was wondering if I’d see you again

Bette smiles back at her.

(Tina) Would you like to join me?

(Bette) Oh, I don’t have to, I don’t want to assume you want company. I hate it when people do that to me

(Tina smiles) Thank you, but I’d love you to. It’s fine too though if you’d rather be alone

Bette smiles back at her.
