Tim jumped a bit as she yelled, his ears still a bit sensitive as she began to clamor for him not to call her husband. Why would she not want to call him, and why would William call her a distraction? A sick feeling twisted his stomach as Alice began to stand up and darted into her room, her lips brushing his cheek before she left. Tim kept playing, really unable to sleep now, but even over the sounds of the game, he knew that she was crying. He could go in and comfort her, but she seemed like she just needed to be left alone. The thought of her being alone in a hotel, especially with that cut on her arm... it hurt his heart and he resolved to ensure she stayed with him, at least until her jitters calmed down.<br/><br/>He kept playing for a few more hours, alone in his thoughts before closing the game and returning to his bed. Even if he could put aside the oddness of her appearance aside, it was very good to see Alice again. Even if he still loved her, and it dredged up all the painful memorize of losing her to William again. Still, this wasn't about him, not at all, it was about providing her friendship and comfort... and that was all that mattered. So he fell asleep, his mind already alight with ways to get her cleaned up and happy tomorrow.<br/><br/>The next morning he awoke to the smells of breakfast being made, and after quickly changing his clothes, he moved towards the kitchen. Hmm, it hadn't smelt this good since his girlfriend had still lived with him. Rounding the corner, the man saw Alice pattering around the Kitchen. "Well, this is a welcome surprise my friend, although it shouldn't surprise me at all." He teased, remembering the times that she had surprised him with breakfast or tickets to something or a dozen other little things. He'd surprised her just as often, but her surprises were always better. Inhaling the scent of her shampoo, he reached over to hug her uninjured side gently. "So, is your arm feeling better?" He asked, gently touching the rewrapped bandage.<br/><br/>"Alright, well I was just about to get some donuts for breakfast, but this is certainly better." He added, looking over the plate of eggs and bacon she was making, before moving to pop some bread in the toaster. "Thanks for making breakfast." He added, helping her prepare it by getting the plates and cups out. "Not going to lie, Alice, it's really good to have you back and about. I really missed you."
