Chapter 8
”Okay seriously, we have to go to sleep,” Bette said.
Tina rested with her eyes closed and the back of her wrist across her forehead, as she made every effort to normalize her breathing pattern again.
”Tina?”
”Give me a minute,” Tina replied, without moving. ”That was fucking epic.”
”We both have an early court time,” Bette reminded her as she moved closer. ”But I most definitely agree…”
Tina brought herself up onto her elbows and turned her head to make eye contact.
”I already had an early court time,” Tina said. ”You know we’ll get a continuance – Judge Robinson won’t expect you to get up to speed that quickly when you haven’t even been part of the case.”
”She’s going to rake me over the coals for not having a second chair for our client,” Bette said.
”If she puts your feet to the fire, we’ll have to disclose that we can’t oppose each other in court,” Tina said. ”She’s reasonable. And you’ll be off the hook. He’ll probably be back by the end of the week.”
”You’re right – it was an appendectomy, not neurosurgery,” Bette said.
Defence counsel in the case Tina was prosecuting – Bette’s associate – had been admitted for acute appendicitis that morning. As a result, Bette had been called to present in court the next morning at nine o’clock. As luck would have it, Tina’s co-counsel had been called away on an urgent family matter and she would be entirely responsible for prosecuting the case.
”Let’s go to sleep,” Tina said. ”You worked all afternoon.”
”Sorry I backed off from making dinner tonight,” Bette apologized again.
”Of all people, I understand the circumstances,” Tina said. ”Take out was fine.”
Bette leaned over and set the alarm so Tina could go home in the morning to get ready for their day in court. She rolled back and pulled Tina close to her, placing a kiss on her shoulder as she did so.
”How’re you doing?” Bette asked.
”Good,” Tina replied.
”Anything on your mind?”
”Not now, okay?”
”Okay,” Bette said. ”But sometime, right?”
”Sometime,” Tina confirmed.
They soon fell asleep together, a bit restless at the prospect of the next morning, where they would face each other from opposite sides of the courtroom.
