The umm...morning after.
Beth wakes up and realizes where she is, looks down and finds she's in Mick's shirt.
She hears Mick and asks what time it is. He says its early and brings her coffee. He takes a seat.
Beth points to the shirt and asks if its his. He tells her yes - her clothes were wet but they're dry now. She smiles. (Why is she not more embarrassed?)
Mick asks if she remembers much. She responds 'no' then 'yes'. He smiles at her.
Beth explains that the drug made her feel invincible, like she was more than human. Mick listnes. She tells him that she felt like the hottest thing on the planet - like no one could resist her. Mick states that it sounds like she felt the highs without the lows.
Beth wants to know what the downside could be to feeling like that. Mick tells her: the scrounging, the hiding. Missing the things you once loved.
Beth listens as he continues. He misses sunbathing, food. Like the prime rib at Musso's
Now he can't even remember how it tastes. They say its suppose to get easier the longer you live but he doesn't hope so. Beth thinks he would wish for the opposite.
Mick's incredulous. Forget what its like to be human? No way!
Beth happens to look over at the dress hanging near her. She asks if she was wearing 'that'. She looks a bit horrified. Mick just answers 'yeah'.
Beth's embarrassed and responds that that's not like her. Mick informs her that she said that it was the real her. (Good for you Mick - stick it to her!)
Beth sobers up and says she has to get going. She has some apologies to make (I really thought she should have started with Mick)
Mick watches as she ascends the stairs.
to GA for continally surpassing all expectations!
