Quito, Ecuador, Friday, October 18, 2019

And we're back to the hotel where you have time to grab dinner and go clubbing or sit in your room, get food delivered and curate your best pictures for your Instagram account.

You do you, Fandom.

"Mayyyybe a few times," Karolina replied, really drawing that first word out, there. She snickered, tilting her face into the touch a little bit. "Have I told you I don't mind hearing repeats?"

“You might have mentioned it,” Beau said, and leaned in to kiss the tip of her nose; she didn’t exactly pull away afterward, either. “Good thing I have no problem saying it a lot. I think you’re fucking amazing, Karolina. I’m kind of never going to be over how amazing you are.”

Karolina's nose scrunching up a little at the kiss probably didn't help her generally adorable vibe any. But she couldn't help it. It was a natural reaction!

The snicker that ensued was a little on the coy side. "I don't know, Beau," she murmured. "But I try."

It was the reaction Beau had been hoping for, in any case, so she was going to consider that a win.

"I know you do. You always do," she said, and pulled back -- though only because that made it much easier to take a piece of fruit off the leaf plate and try to feed it to her. "It's one of my favorite things about you."

The snickering got less coy and more flat-out amused again, at the attempted feeding.

Which then became successful feeding as she went ahead and caught the piece of fruit between her teeth, from where it then disappeared into her mouth to be chewed on thoughtfully.

Then her eyebrows went up. "Ooh, that's really good."

Beau let her fingertips brush lightly against Karolina's lips before she reached for a piece for herself and popped it into her mouth. You could give credit to her experience with fancy wine tastings for the deliberate way she was chewing on the piece of fruit, and the look of concentration on her face as she did.

"Oh wow, yeah. That is pretty good."

And then she took another piece, put one end of it in her mouth, and gave Karolina an inviting and slightly devious grin.

They might just kill everyone in the vicinity with too-sweet cuteness (as much as Beau would try to claim it wasn't, on her part) before tonight was over, really.

They were definitely going to do exactly that.

Karolina snickered again, and then leaned in with zero hesitation because hey, she wanted that piece of fruit! Or at least half of it! And the kissing that immediately ensued was just a side benefit.

A very nice side benefit.

The best side benefit.

"Kinda feel like that piece tasted even better for some reason," Beau mumbled against her lips. "Weird, huh?"

Surely no one could have anticipated that!

"Could just be me. Might have to test that again."

"Maybe we should," Karolina agreed, which no one could have anticipated, either. This time, she was the one who plucked up another piece of fruit and put one half between her lips.

They were insufferable.

They were the worst. And for all that Beau hadn't figured herself to be a particularly demonstrative person in public, it was so easy with Karolina, and she didn't care what anyone else thought.

So yeah, she had to set her drink down on the bench, because this time when she claimed her half of the fruit -- which of course, inevitably, turned into a kiss -- she also had to wrap her arm around Karolina's shoulders. Just because it seemed like the thing to do.

As far as finding out how many things they could cram into one evening went, it was probably not going to be a very long list. Not at this rate.
