Kit and Angelica head off to Kit’s apartment, leaving Bette and Tina alone for the first time in a long time. Tina sits down on the couch and motions for Bette to join her.

            “Bette, I am sorry that I have been sosodistant. I guess I am just afraid. I am not used to be the ‘breadwinner’ I got used to you controlling the family finances. I am scared that I might not do as good a job as you did.”

            “Tina, you are doing a great job. I am not going to be out of work forever. I just know that it is best for one of us to stay home with Angelica. Especially since the social worker hates me. If this adoption doesn’t go through, it will kill me.”

            “Bette you are Angelica’s mother regardless. This is all just for legality. No one can take away the fact that you are her mom. She knows it too. You see her face light up when you enter the room.”

            “Tina what about you, does your face light up when I enter the room? Remember last year we were lying in bed and you said you used to be proud to be with me because you knew I was proud to be with you. That you knew I loved you more than anything. I still do. Tina, I love you more than anything in this world. I miss you. I miss touching you and holding you. I miss kissing you. I miss touching you soft skin.”

            “Bette I miss that too. I don’t know when we drifted apart. When I walked in tonight and heard you and Kit talking I heard the pain in your voice. I knew then that we had to stop the ride and get off. I could have very well come in tonight and found out that Candace was here and went through the roof. If I had not walked in and heard the sincerity in your voice, I would have done that. That scares me. We have to build up our trust again. I don’t want to lose you. I love you. I love our daughter. I love our life.”
