"Alexandra?" a man's voice called from the stairs.
The women jumped away from each other as Robert walked through the open door and onto the roof. He saw the tears on Alex's face and looked worried, "Are you okay darling?"
Alex wiped her face, sniffled and nodded, "I'm fine."
By this time Olivia had wiped her eyes and looked like she'd never cried a single tear.
Alex stood up, off of the ledge and sighed.
Robert opened his mouth and looked at Olivia, "Can I have a word with you?"
Alex looked over at Olivia, then to Robert, "She didn't do anything. I'm okay. We were just talking and-"
Robert raised a hand to cut her off, "I just want to talk to her. Why don't you go get cleaned up? There's a young lady downstairs named Jessica who wants to talk to you."
Alex looked at Olivia who nodded.
"Okay," Alex took a deep breath and walked past Robert, down the stairs. Alex stopped off at the nearest bathroom to rinse her face.
Once she rounded the last flight of stairs, Jessica Rossi was standing there, arms crossed, looking ready to fight.
Alex obviously looked shaken, but that didn't deter Jessica. "I can't believe you," Jessica hissed.
Alex furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "I have a feeling you want to elaborate, so why don't we go somewhere more private?" Alex led Jessica downstairs, out of the lobby and onto the sidewalk. "Now what did you want to speak to me about?"
"You and Jim," Jessica scoffed, "I can't believe you're still sleeping with him, now that you're engaged."
"I didn't," Alex answered, occasionally looking up at the roof, not knowing what she expected. Maybe for Olivia or Robert to come flying off of the roof. More likely Robert because he had probably never been in a physical fight in his life.
"He said you two had sex a week ago," Jessica stated.
"I wasn't engaged a week ago," Alex replied, "We got engaged six days ago." She looked up again.
"What are you looking for?" Jessica asked, looking up as well.
"Flying people," Alex sighed and looked back down.
Jessica raised an eyebrow.
"Robert is on the roof," Alex answered, "With my ex. Who is a cop."
"So you were a badge bunny," Jessica smirked.
Alex shrugged, "What can I say, I've always loved a gold badge and a leather jacket." She looked at Jessica, "Look, if you want Jim, in a relationship, you have to give it a chance before you just give up on him."
Jessica thought about the words Alex just said and nodded.
"Go get him," Alex smiled, "Even men like to have someone fight for them."
Jessica smiled, "I guess you're right." She unexpectedly pulled Alex into a hug. "You'll make the right choice."
"Huh?" Alex asked as Jessica pulled away.
"Between Robert and your cop," Jessica patted Alex's shoulder, before walking off.
Alex sighed and looked back up at the roof. She wished she could hear anything that was being said.
She walked back into the hotel, but didn't go upstairs. She went straight to the bar and ordered a bourbon.
