Gwen was startled by a knock on her hotel room door. She rose from her plush bed, brushing some stray hair out of her face as she strode across the well-lit room. She took a deep, shuddering breath as she pressed her eye up to the keyhole, not sure what she was expecting when... she saw Alice's face staring back at her. Somehow.

Gwen flung the door open, blinking rapidly.

"How-? Why-? How do you even know-?" Gwen started.

"The stupid computer dumped your texts with Lena onto my plate, I don't know why but..." Alice shrugs, "I figured I'd come over, since, you sounded like you needed it."

"You- you didn't have to-" Gwen started.

"Buh buh buh," Alice interrupted, "None of that. Come on, Gwen. I didn't mean or ask to see those texts, but I know you're not alright."

"I- I- shit-" Gwen stuttered, slumping into Alice's arms.

"Okay, okay. You're alright, it's gonna work out," Alice reassured, shuffling a bit over as she kicked the door closed, all but dragging Gwen over to the bed.

"I- I don't know what I'm going to do, Alice," Gwen managed, sniffling.

"You don't have to worry about that now, just... just be in the moment with me, alright Gwen? One step at a time," Alice stated, clapping Gwen on the shoulders.

Gwen stared at Alice, blinking, soaking in her presence, processing what it meant for her to be here. That Alice had come out here for her. And then her body was moving ahead of her and her lips were on Alice's and-

"Oh... uh... wow, Gwen," Alice managed, blushing, "Wasn't expecting that!"

"Was- was that alright?" Gwen asked.

"I'm not complaining," Alice said, composure regained as she gave Gwen a smirk.

"Would you... stay the night here? With me. I- I know that jumping to sleeping in the same bed is a bit much but I- I don't want to be alone right now,” Gwen asked.

“Of course, Gwen. And besides, this place is nicer than my apartment anyway,” Alice replied.
