Alice: You okay?

Alex nodded. Alice pulled her into a hug again.

Alice: Do you need me to build you a lake?

Alex: No

The two laughed and Alice pulled out of the embrace to kiss Alex’s forehead. She then took Alex’s hand and they walked into the kitchen. Alex turned to Jenny as her and Alice took their seats.

Alex: I’m sorry about last night, I shouldn’t have blown up at you.

Jenny: It’s okay, don’t worry about it, I’m sorry too.

Alex: Its alright. Friends?

Jenny nodded and smiled. Alice rubbed Alex’s thigh.

Shane laughed at Carmen’s joke then sighed.

Shane: I should get back to the room, make sure Alex is okay.

Carmen nodded.

Shane: I’m glad we can have fun like this.

Carmen: Me too. Maybe someday we’ll even be back to normal.

Shane: Maybe sooner than we think. I’ll see you later.

Carmen: Bye.

They walked up to each other and pulled one another into a hug. The second they touched, each felt a surge of electricity. Once in each other’s arms, they didn’t want to let go. But Shane broke the hug and smiled then gave a little wave and left.

Alex was leaning against Alice, their fingers intertwined as they talked to Jenny.

Alice: So you’ve got a new book coming out?

Jenny: Yeah, it’s called Mirrors its pretty much the story of my life so far.

Alex: Sounds interesting.

Alice: At least we know the reader won’t get bored.

Jenny: Very funny.

Jenny looked at her watch.

Jenny: Oh, I gotta go, I’m playing in a game of water polo at two.

Jenny got up.

Jenny: I’ll see you guys later?

Alice and Alex got up too. Alice gave her a hug.

Alice: You betcha.

Jenny looked over to Alex.

Jenny: Nice meeting you.

Alex: You too.

Then Jenny and Alex hugged before Jenny was out the door and on her way. Alice rubbed Alex’s arm.

Alice: You sure you’re okay?

Alex nodded and the two smiled, then Alice hit her playfully on the arm.
