Half-turning to look at Hero, Beth shakes her head. "Don't bother. This place isn't exactly functioning these days. It's more of a hideout."
That's exactly what it is now.
"Besides," she adds almost conversationally, her shoulders shrugging, "haven't you ever read first Corinthians? Women have to cover our prideful locks when we pray, to show God that we're under the authority of men."
Yeah, right.
Spike would've had no clue what the fuck she was talking about, and he probably wouldn't have cared. And for a second she misses him so fucking intensely.
It's funny that after nearly a month of being here, sometimes it can actually feel like she never left.
Sometimes. The Venusian vanilla shirt, despite not smelling like Spike anymore, is always a sharp reminder.
"And yet," a new voice interrupts her train of thought, "as woman came into existence from man, so men come into existence by women. Corinthians also reminds us that the two are equal in the eyes of the Lord."
Eyes widening, Beth looks from the three women blocking their path -- a nun flanked by two chicks in Swiss Guard uniforms -- to Hero.
"What..." How the hell did they get in? She can't fucking believe she let herself get fooled. "What the fuck? You set me up?"
