Catrin followed Paige’s fierce stare, not on Lexa this time but fixed like crosshairs on a point about ten feet away.

Bones was still on the claw machine, but this time with Sally pressed against her back, her hand atop Bones’ on the joystick, helping her manoeuvre the claw, and muttering something softly into her ear. The claw dropped, and it easily grabbed one of the plushies and held on, dropping it into the funnel.

Bones gave a joyful yell and swivelled to squeeze Sally in a tight hug, kissing her over and over again on the cheek, her cries of love you love you love you in between kisses loud enough for Catrin and probably everyone else in the arcade too.

Catrin looked back in time to see Paige's expression shift, shining eyes blinking rapidly and lips pressing together.

Why is Paige watching them when she was obsessed with going on Tunnel of Love with Lexa earlier?

"Cat?" Tayris squeezed her hand, pulling her out of her thoughts. “D'you want -”

“Just a moment, babe.”

Paige uncrossed her ankles and told Lexa I'm gonna get some air before spinning away, fast as a tornado. She reminded Catrin of a model on a catwalk coming towards them; long rapid strides, wavy blonde hair billowing behind her as if in wind, blankly staring at a point in the distance.

“Paige, you alright -”
