[ Under normal circumstances Beth would be embarrassed being caught without a shirt on in front of Rick but as it stands, she doesn't even think about covering herself back up until Rick is helping on her shirt for her.

Maybe it's Rick's touch - so different to Negan's - that snaps her out of it, or it's his words, but once they get through to her, she nods her face in his hands. ]

Okay. I know the quickest way out of here without bumping into anyone. [ She was smart enough to plan an escape route before doing this. ] I can meet you outside.

[ And maybe it's the adrenaline still running through her veins, but before Rick lets go of her, she leans up on her tiptoes and presses a kiss to his mouth. It's short and brief and Rick is probably really confused by it, but no sooner is Beth pulling back with a wide-eyed expression, like she can't believe what she just did. ]

I'm sorry I - I had to get the taste of him out of my mouth. [ While he's probably still in shock over the kiss, she grabs for one of his guns at his holster because after taking the knife from her, she's going to need some kind of protection in case, especially if they're going to part ways, seizing it before he has a chance to argue. ] I'll see you outside.
