"See you around, Bette" Andrea called out to Bette’s retreating back, smiling as she shamelessly ogled the brunette’s swaying behind.

On the way back to the elevators, Jasmine called out to a speed walking Bette and immediately caught the brunette’s attention. Bette’s head whipped in their direction and she forced a wide smile for reasons that for once didn’t include Brian. She casually made her way over, her face ghost white with fear that Jasmine had seen her talking to Andrea.

"Up early, I see" Jasmine smiled.

"Uh, yeah. I uh, just came down to get my bag. The airline lost my suitcase" Bette stammered a bit through her sentences, inwardly willing herself to calm down. Jasmine seemed like her normal, cheerful self. Maybe she hadn’t seen anything.

"Who’s that lady?" Brian came out of nowhere and tugged on Bette’s pant leg as he pointed to Andrea who was busy checking herself into the hotel.

Bette clenched her jaw and used all her restraint not to kick Brian into the next lifetime. The kid was just as nosy and drama-seeking as Alice.

"Someone I used to work with" Bette forced a smile down at the ever curious, ever annoying little Brian. It seemed she was forcing a lot of smiles that morning. "I should get back upstairs, Tina’s probably wondering where I am"

"Oh Bette, maybe you and Tina could join us today. We’re going snorkeling"

Bette was about to decline Jasmine’s offer when she heard Andrea’s flirty laugh from somewhere behind her. Her eyes darted down to Brian before meeting Jasmine’s hopeful gaze. As much as she dreaded spending time with Brian, Bette knew it would be better than staying inside the hotel where she and Tina could run into Andrea. At that point Bette was debating on whether or not she should even tell her wife about seeing the redhead.

"Sure that sounds good. Let me just wake up Tina and we’ll meet you down by the beach in about an hour"

After dedicating only another minute to small talk and saying her goodbyes, Bette quickly made her way back up to her room. By the time she reached her floor, it had been already decided that she wouldn’t keep any secrets from Tina. Especially when Big-mouth Brian was on the loose. Bette shook her head with the madness of escaping one Alice only to meet another one.

"T? Baby, I’m back"

The sound of running water caught Bette’s attention but as she made it to the bathroom door, Tina was already making her way out. She had been wiping her mouth, ridding it from the water that was dripping down her chin. Bette assumed she had finished washing her face, the anxiety over Andrea completely blinded Bette from the paleness of her wife’s skin.

"Hey you got it" Tina smiled weakly and that’s what caught Bette’s attention. She even noticed Tina’s pale features.

"Are you sick again, baby?" Bette immediately placed a hand on Tina’s forehead, touching her cheek and then her neck right after. Tina didn’t feel warm in the slightest and just the day before she was more or less in perfect health. Bette, for the life of her, couldn’t understand what was wrong. She just hoped the warm climate wasn’t what was keeping Tina sick.

Tina said she was fine but that wasn’t enough to convince the brunette, her concerns about Andrea suddenly taking back seat as her ones about Tina took the front. She completely forgot about the redheaded home-wrecker and focused on what mattered the most, her wife’s health. Bette spent the next few minutes catering to her wife and completely forgetting about Andrea as she tried to talk Tina out of a day of snorkeling.
