Dinner went nicely. Bea enjoyed spending time with Roger. Always had. It was even nicer today when it had been a frustrating day over all. She was glad that he was so willing to spend time with her. She of course had other friends. And so did he. But he still was the best person for her to spend time with it. It wasn't the same with other people anymore. Not since her father passed. He understood where others didn't. 

So she might have dilly dallied longer than necessary. And not just because she was avoiding her land landy. She was just very glad that he didn't seem to mind too much. But she couldn't delay for ever and eventually he walked her home. She of course insisted that she go in on her own, she didn't want him to have to deal with Ms. Mortimer's ire for something that was entirely her fault. 

Just outside the door though, she gave him a quick, spontaneous hug. It wasn't something that never happened before, but she rarely just hugged him out of nowhere with no warning. “Thank you,” she murmured as she embraced him. “For everything,” she went on as she pulled back.

Rebeca happily chatted away with Estella as they walked back to the shop, letting the other woman lead both the walk and the conversation when she felt like it. It had been a while since she'd spoken more than just a few moments with another girl. And better still, one who somewhat understood what it was like to live the life she did, always on the go in a world surrounded by men. Yes, there were plenty of other women like them, but they didn't always meet up either. 

She hardly seemed to notice any of the looks any of the passing men gave her. If they said something to her, she might wave, but on occasion, if they were crass to her, she merely shot them a glare and a rude gesture back. She didn't care if it was unlady like.

She was actually a little disappointed when they made it back to the shop. She was already formulating ways to make sure that Estella could come back with her. Even if just a little bit to talk more. Though ideally to help with engine problems as well.
