Alice reached over and took Tasha’s hand into her own. Tasha looked at their hands together.

They looked very content with each other. Alice began to speak then hesitated nodding to Tasha to give the news.

“Alice and I broke up this morning” Tasha revealed.

=========================================================

Kit and Helena stared at the now ex-lovers with their eyes wide and mouths open. They could not believe the couple that was sitting here in front of them holding hands had just told them they had broken up.

“What? Why? I don’t understand” Kit finally said looking at Tasha.

“We know it’s kind of a shock but we talked all night about it and decided it’s better to just be friends. I hate to say it but the spark is gone. I love Alice and she loves me and we want to see each other happy but we have come to realize that our happiness is not with each other.  I think it was more the thrill of being together than actually being together…you know” Tasha continued as she looked to Alice for help.

“Besides this cop thing… wondering if she will make it home every night… worrying…losing sleep. I just can’t live like that and I can’t ask her not to take the job. I just really don’t think I could stand to lose someone else or even think about losing someone else this soon. It’s ok guys we are going to be fine.” Alice added.

“I don’t know what to say… but if this is the way it has to be then…” Helena replied slowly. “I guess this is the way it has to be”

“Yeah, we support your decision. We only want you to be happy. It’s just a little sad. I was hoping you two would have a happy ending”  Kit added as she placed her hand on Alice’s shoulder. 

“I think Bette and Tina are the only ones so far to have figured out how to get one of those Kit” Alice said with grin. “Are they here?” Alice asked as she looked around. “We may as well break the news to them as well”

“No, haven’t seen or heard from them this morning” Kit answered as she gathered their coffee cups and walked them over to the kitchen.
