Bette heard the hitch in Kits voice and winced. Turning

been strong. Even when her father kicked

pregnant, Kit never shed a tear. To see
her normally composed sister cryingcrying for herbrought Bette out of her stupor.
She quickly moved to Kit and enfolded her in a hug. After a few minutes, she led them both to the
low couch against the wall and sat down.

Chapter 8
Bette enters The Planet a good ten minutes behind
schedule. Her attempts to reach Tina to
let her know she would be late all ended with Tinas voicemail. She had
hesitated at the door, afraid to walk in to find that Tina had already given up
on her and left. Much to her relief, Bette finds Tina sitting at a booth
towards the back reading through a menu
She smiles a small, sad smile. That used to be their booth.
had always made sure to keep that one open for their weekly breakfast with the
girls. Quickly making her way over, Bette issues a quick hello to Kit who had just
come out from the back office. Finally arriving at the table, Bette twists her
hands together nervously as she waits for Tina to notice her. It seems rather obvious to Bette that Tina
had seen her come in and was just choosing to let her stew in her own late
juices. After a moment, however, Tina lowers the menu and looks up. The apology
that Bette had formed dies on her lips the moment their eyes meet. Bette can
see so many emotions shining in Tinas eyes. Joy. Pain. Disappointment.
Hope. Without a word she settles in
across from Tina. Suddenly nervous about
being alone in Tinas presence after so long, Bette breaks eye contact and
reaches for the other menu.
