The next few days weren’t easy, but Ted tried his best. He wore many of Laura’s favorite outfits, he went down to the beach or pool often. Laura seemed a bit more sullen. She often refused to leave the room; she mostly laid in bed lamenting. Ted would try to comfort her, but he really wanted her to get out. If they were stuck like this, she was going to have to adapt. There were many times Ted left the room without her, hoping it would encourage her.

On one of these instances, Ted had an awkward encounter where a guy flirting with him. The guy was pretty aggressive, but Ted manages to ward off his advances. Afterward, Ted couldn’t imagine feeling more vulnerable or disgusted. But then the next time he was out, as he wandered about the resort, his heart sank even lower than he ever could have imagined.

He saw Laura in his body. It would’ve made him so happy to see her out and about under most circumstances. However, he spied her making out with another guest. His head was spinning, and he thought he was imagining things. But when he stormed closer, he knew he wasn’t. He demanded answers.
