Beth found herself smiling at Rachel. She was very smart, beth could tell, and that was a good thing. Mikkel and Sean were smart too and had a wide range of life experiences that were way beyond the scope of what Beth had known. This was very encouraging to her. Yes she was here as an adventure and because of her own sexual curiosity...not to mention the money...but she was also at a point in her life where she was remaking herself, like a caterpillar going into a cocoon and when she emerged she would be something different and these were exactly the sort of people with whom she should be surrounding herself. Mikkel and Sean got warm smiules before theyt left then she stood and gave Rachel an awkward little hug, awkward only because she wasn't sure if Rachel was a hugger or if it would just make her uncomfortable. She'd show Rachel to her room then give instructions on how to find hers in case Rachel wanted any help then left the other woman to unpack. Beth remembered that last night those few minutes alone to settle in before dinner and facing everyone had been good for you and perhaps would be the same for Rachel. All that settled Beth returned to her room and got started on her garden.
