THE L WING

“You are kidding me right ?”

“No”

“You and Lucy – back together again ?”

“Yeah”

“Come on – spill the beans – tell me “

Alice grins and I can see how this is something that has really made her happy.

“Well – when we split up I really went through a hard time – I missed her like I had never missed anyone else. I knew how I still felt about her and I heard from mutual friends that maybe she was regretting being so head strong – she is young you know “

“And her dalliance with the other team ?”

“She was curious – – come on Bette – apart from Shane name me one lesbian who hasn’t at least experimented with a man ?”

“Fair point”

“She needed to know for sure – and she is “

“Do you believe her – look Alice – I know how much she hurt you when she cheated on you. I left you alone because I didn’t really think that you wanted to talk about it – least of all with Tina and I. But I know that it hurt – her going over to the other side – well that was a shock”

“I kind of knew that she would do it – or at least try it “

“Why ?”

“Because she is that sort of person – she is so curious about everything – she doesn’t accept anything. Tell her something is too hot or too deep and she will jump in there just to see for herself “

“I am not sure that is terribly safe – or terribly sane – you need someone to calm you down not egg you onto further mischief. God – the two of you let loose on an unsuspecting world with not a grown up among the party. I sense a diplomatic incident or three “

“Don’t worry Bette – its not going to be that bad. I know that she is head strong and I just love that about her. She is so sure of herself – where you ever that sure of yourself when you were that age ?”
