It was 7am when Bette’s alarm went off.  She turned over in bed to find Alice sleeping next to her in a pair of her pyjamas.  Her head was throbbing and in instead of going back to sleep deferred to the kitchen.  As she came back she saw Alice had tossed around in bed, and though she did not want to wake her, slightly tapped her should.

"Hey, take this, it’s aspirin.  You’re going to wake up with a really bad headache."

"Ugh, too late," Alice grunted. "What time is it?"

"Seven, but you don’t need to get up."

"I just remembered that story you told me in the car," Alice tried to sound excited, but her hangover was taking all the joy out of her exclamation.

"Yea. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.  But, she went home with Peter, Alice.  I just….I don’t know," Bette said battling her inner thoughts.

"Well, yea she went home with Peter, but, can you blame her?  What was she supposed to do? ‘Hey Peter, sorry Bette just felt me up in the bathroom and I’ve decided I’m going to dump you right here on the night of your birth,"" Alice mimicked Tina’s voice.

Bette laughed.  She knew Alice was right but she could not help but feel angry that Tina had left with Peter after that moment they shared in the bathroom.  

"They probably had sex," Bette said half to herself and half to Alice.

"Maybe she thinks the same about us," Alice said as she finish her glass of water and rolled over to get comfortable again.

Bette got back into bed and tossed her arm around Alice snuggled close from behind.  "Hopefully.  I mean, there’s just clearly so much sexual tension between the two of us," she said as she began to drift back into sleep.

"So much," Alice responded as they both fell back into a deep slumber.

Half way across town Tina’s alarm began to ring.  She, unlike many of the guests from the night before, made sure to pace her drinking and not over-do it, keeping in mind she had an early morning and a day full of meetings.

"You’re leaving already?" Peter managed to open his eyes and ask.

"I have a long day ahead," Tina responded without even looking.
