Tina nods as she climbs into the driver’s seat. They set off again together, making their way back to the hotel.

(Bette) It looks like the road gets pretty winding up ahead, it might get a bit stressful

Tina smiles.

(Tina) I know you’re angling to drive but it’s not happening

Tina looks over at her with a grin.

(Tina) Get your own car

Bette smiles back at her.

(Bette) Watch the road

Tina turns back ahead while Bette continues smiling at her.

They approach an intersection and Tina glances over at Bette as they get closer.

(Tina) Left or right?

Bette doesn’t respond and so Tina turns to her again.

(Tina) Bette?

Bette looks over sheepishly and Tina looks back at her, noticing her empty hands.

(Tina) Where’s the map?

(Bette) It’s possible I left it on the roof of the car at the last stop

Tina comes to a stop at the intersection, biting her lip and looking back and forth at their two choices.

(Tina) Do you have a coin? Heads left, tails right?

(Bette) God, is that our best option?

Tina shrugs.

(Tina) I think so, that way we won’t second guess ourselves or blame each other for making a wrong decision

Bette smiles at her.

(Bette) I feel like you could blame me for losing the map

(Tina smiles) Nah

They share an affectionate look.

Bette produces a coin and flips it, holding it out to Tina.

(Tina smiles) Right it is

They return to the hotel late in the evening, and Tina pulls into the hotel carpark.

(Bette) I guess left was the right choice

Tina laughs.

(Tina) Well, I don’t know about that. We made it, and I had fun

Bette smiles at her as they both step out of the car.

They walk together through to the hotel courtyard, talking as they go.

(Tina) Are you staying here for the two weeks? Or moving around?

(Bette) Staying here and doing day trips. You’re moving?

(Tina) Yes, tomorrow I think. I haven’t decided where to yet though

(Bette) You haven’t booked anywhere?

(Tina) No, I always just book the first two nights and then decide what I want to do

Bette frowns at her.

(Bette) But what if you can’t get in anywhere? Or you miss out on what you want because you didn’t prebook?

(Tina smiles) The freedom of choice is what I want. Besides, how could you possibly know what it is you want from a place before you’ve stepped foot in it? If you base your decisions on things you read you’ll end up doing someone else’s trip, and miss out on your own

Bette examines her.

(Bette) There’s no way I could travel like that. The uncertainty would make me too anxious

Tina smiles at her.

(Tina) You should try it, you might surprise yourself

They reach the hotel courtyard and both come to a stop and look at one another for a moment.

(Tina) Why don’t you join me?

Bette smiles at her.

(Bette) Could I expect more of today?

Tina slaps her arm with eyebrows raised and holding back a smile.

(Tina) You lost the map!

Bette raises her hands in surrender with a smile.

(Bette) OK

They smile at each other for a moment.

(Bette) Anyway, I’m booked here

(Tina smiles) Cancel it. You haven’t paid yet, I’m sure you can work out a cancellation fee with them

Bette studies her for another moment.

(Bette) I’m kind of intrigued by you

Tina smiles.

(Tina) Well then, all the more reason to come along

(Bette smiles) I’ll think it over

(Tina) OK, well don’t think too long. Meet me at check out if you want to come

(Bette smiles) OK

Tina smiles at her for a moment longer and then steps towards her and kisses her gently. She leans back and looks at her with a faint smile.

(Tina) I hope you decide to come

They smile at each other before Tina turns and heads to her room, leaving Bette standing and watching her as she moves away.
