"Did Laura come here with you?" she asks and it's the first time she's felt a little bit more outside of her own head and her own experiences since the moment that man approached her. It feels better, thinking about someone else. Something else.

She doesn't want to take Chuck away from Laura if she's going to be waiting for him. Even if he finds Laura first, they can all leave together if they have to.

Then again, Laura strikes her as being pretty independent most of the time. Beth doesn't know her well, though, and she doesn't want to make assumptions. Asking about someone else centres her like not much else has.
