Alexis is staring at the leaky faucet. Drip, drip, drip. When she volunteered to help Stevie out with some routine maintenance around the motel -- she’s been a whirlwind of activity lately, like now that she’s made it through the bedridden phase, she can outrun her heartbreak -- this is about what Stevie expected.
“So should we … do something about the dripping?” Stevie urges, standing in the bathroom doorway.
“Oh.” Alexis snaps out of it. “Sorry. I was just thinking, the last time I really paid attention to a sink, it was because I broke David’s at the store having really great sex with Ted on it.”
“Those are some really … beautiful memories,” Stevie says awkwardly.
Alexis nods solemnly and takes a deep breath in. Her pretty eyes are shining. “And now I guess I’m, like, wondering if he’s out there somewhere, thinking of me whenever he sees a sink, or if he’s moved on. Are there even sinks in the Galapagos?”
“Probably,” says Stevie, “but I still think you made the right choice staying here.”
