Bette: You know they are different people and it would make sense that you fit differently with each of them. You said Elliott was much older and that you and Gerald are closer in age. Socially, you and Gerald grew up in the same circles and you have a common history, so it would make sense that you’d click on some levels more easily.  That comfort can translate into the bedroom as well. You both also share the experience of losing that love of your life in a tragic and unexpected way, that too will bind you and probably makes you both more open to share your emotions as you truly get that tomorrow isn’t promised to you. That openness could definitely translate to the bedroom.

Cynthia: Who said anything about having sex in bed? Who can wait that long?

The girls laugh and Bette really loves Cindy’s sense of humor and timing.

Cynthia: I am in love with him and we both use the L word freely. Even Sam loves Gerald and tells him so, they are so cute together.

Bette: Do you think he could propose soon?

Cynthia: I think he’s going to do it this weekend. We are going out of town for the weekend and I think he’ll do it then. He’s a sentimental type so I think he’d like to have us more cemented as a family before Mother’s Day next weekend. Truth be told I’m excited to have Sam celebrate father’s day with Elliott next month.

Bette: Are you going to Vegas? Do you plan to come back married?

Cynthia: We are going to Vegas. Oh my god, he’s so traditional would he really do that?

Bette: Would you marry him this weekend?

Cynthia: In a heart beat. I had the big wedding with Elliott so I don’t quite need that again. However, I would like Sam to be our ring bearer.

Bette: You know what, don’t stress over it. Just be prepared to enjoy a long weekend with him and if he pops the question you’re prepared to answer it. You have my congratulations early. You’ll be the third bride to be for me in as many months. My friend Jan got engaged, then my sister and hopefully soon it will be your turn.
