thirteen.

Bailey pulled on a long-sleeve orange dress over brown leggings that Katherine had laid out for her. She squeezed styling gel into her hand and finger-combed it into her wet hair to hold her curls. She then reached in the overnight bag and pulled out a clear makeup container. She fumbled through it and grabbed some mascara and quickly swiped it over her lashes. She felt a slight headache under her eye and was definitely still hungover, but she didn’t want to walk out of the bathroom looking like a mess.

She dug around in the makeup bag for a couple more minutes to find some makeup that she might use normally. She couldn’t find anything she necessarily liked, so she settled for dabbing a little eyeliner on and threw the makeup back in the overnight bag with her dirty clothes and zipped it up. She folded the towels and picked them up and opened the door to see Katherine standing sentry outside the door waiting for her.

Katherine looked Bailey up and down and tilted her head. She grabbed the bag from Bailey’s arms and riffled through it.

“What’s the matter?” Bailey asked. Bailey was trying to get past the event, physically at least, so the team could move forward. Apparently Katherine had assigned herself to gatekeeper.

“You’re not wearing that right.” She pulled out a thick, brown fashionable belt and shoved it at her. “This goes around your waist,” she said, looking at Bailey’s red shoes. “And switch shoes with me. Those don’t match your outfit.” Fortunately they wore the same size.

“Why is this so important?” Bailey groaned as she pulled the belt around her hips as Katherine kicked off her flip-flops.

“You have two semihandsome guys in the kitchen that seem to be fighting over you. You should at least give them something good to fight over,” Katherine said, and looked Bailey up and down. Her voice sounded whiny when she got excited. Katherine smiled and clapped her hands in a playful, childlike rapid manner once the belt was around Bailey’s hips. “You look great,” Katherine said with a wide smile. Bailey furrowed her brow at her in confusion.

“You’re clearly out of your mind,” Bailey replied as she took off her shoes and slipped on Katherine’s flip-flops. “Where’d your heels go?”

“They’re in my bag. You can wear those if you want but you might slip. The cobblestone streets around here were rough on me.” Bailey looked up at Katherine again, and she was giving Bailey her best “go get ’em” grin.

“Katherine,” Bailey started. “I don’t want you to get the wrong impression with the whole Sam and Daniel thing.”

“What do you mean? That you’re stringing them both along?” Katherine said it like it was a fact, not up for discussion. Bailey knew her denial would be a waste of effort, but she pushed on nevertheless.

“I’m not,” Bailey urged. “It may seem that way, but really I’m not. I’m just trying to leave it alone.”

Katherine raised a confused and skeptical eyebrow at her. “I know I’m supposed to figure everyone out here.
