Bette was shaking her head, as she carefully sipped on the potent drink, and exclaimed, “Or something!”

“Careful with this one, Bette,” Trevor added with a teasing voice and wink. “She and my sister had quite the reputation in university.  Broke a lot of hearts along the way.”

“Hmm… I left all that behind, you know,” Jenna answered, bristling a little.

“Whoa, whoa!” Trevor exclaimed, “Just teasing there, Jenna.  I know that you had a bad divorce and everything …..”

Jenna glared at him.

“But,” Trevor he continued, nodding towards Bette, “You seem to have recovered nicely here.”  He winked at Bette.

Jenna pursed her lips at him.  And then looked at Bette fondly.  She sighed, “Uh huh.  Sometimes, even when you think something’s finished …”

“It isn’t,” Bette added, giving Jenna a smile of her own.

The three men exchanged knowing looks, before Trevor commented, with a teasing laugh, “Uh oh.  Finishing each other’s sentences already!  Danger up ahead!”

Bette and Jenna held their shared and apparently intimate look a beat longer, before Bette glanced at Trevor, “What makes you think we’re not in danger already?”

 Trevor looked quickly at Jeremy, and then exclaimed, pulling on Bette’s elbow slightly, “Ooookay, then!  Before we lose you girls to um… another night of .. um… whatever it is you enjoyed last night, judging by how you both showed up during breakfast this morning … maybe you can both sit and enjoy the game with us?  Got a pair of side-by-side seats here next to me…”

He led Bette and Jenna to a pair of empty chairs in the center of the rows of chairs arranged in front of a large screen where the game was being shown.  All the other guests, including Tycho and the others with whom Bette had lunch with the day before in Tycho’s boat, excepting Peter, were watching the game closely, and cheering their respective teams on.  Many of the guests were on their way to getting drunk.

Bette looked around, and saw Diane and Brom leaning on a railing opposite to where she, Jenna and the three men they’d been talking to had been standing.  She nodded their way as she allowed herself to be led by Trevor to the chairs, on which she and Jenna would likely sit, at least through the remainder of this half of the soccer match.
