Tina sat in silence for a moment. 

“Are you okay?” Bette asked. 

“No. Yes. You said Gillian was okay. How could she be?” Tina asked. 

“She says she is.” Bette said. 

“I have to go to her.” Tina stood. 

“Has she answered any of your calls or texts today?” Bette asked. 

“No.” Tina checked her phone.

“You know her better than anyone. How is she going to react to you running over there and confronting her about things she isn’t ready to talk to you about?” Bette asked. 

Tina fell back on the couch.

“You’re right. She’d freak and push me away again.” Tina said. 

“We know what’s going on. I think the best thing for us to do is keep a watchful eye out. She’ll come around. She’s so much like you. She just needs her own time.” Bette brushed the hair out of Tina’s face.

Gillian stood in her kitchen cutting up veggies. Grace stood next to her dropping them in the stir fry.

“This smell delicious.” She said. Gillian smiled and dropped in the rest of the veggies. 

“Wait til you taste it.” Gillian slid up on the counter on the other side of the stove. 

“That’s not the only thing I can’t wait to taste.” Grace said undressing Gillian with her eyes. 

“You’ve got a dirty mind. I like it.” Gillian said. 

Grace leaned over and kissed Gillian. Gillian pulled back after a moment. 

“Dinner’s done.” She said. Grace watched her intently. 

Gillian hoped off the counter and crossed the kitchen. She pulled two plates out of the cabinet. She scooped some rice and stir fry onto them and carried them to the table. 

“You coming.” She said Grace crossed the room and sat at the table. Gillian sat down on the other side of the table. 

“Wow this is good.” Grace said. 

“Told ya.” Gillian said. Grace laughed.

Bette and Tina harmoniously moved around the bathroom getting ready for the evenings events. 

“Does Gillian know that Skylar is going to MOCA tonight?” Tina asked. 

“She probably assumes so considering Skylar owns a lot of the pieces in the show.” Bette fastened her bra. 

“You’re not sure?” Tina asked pausing from applying her eyeshadow. 

“No, I’m not 100% sure. Don’t worry I’ll keep a close eye on the situation.” Bette put her hand on Tina’s back trying to comfort her. 

“All I want to do right now is pull Gillian into my arms and not let go ever again.” Tina went back to the eye shadow. 

“That would be a little awkward come bed time.” Bette joked. Tina smiled and looked in Bette’s direction who had gone into the closet. 

“You know what I mean.” She said. 

“White or red.” Bette said from the closet. 

“Oooo where the blue one it makes your tits look hot.” Tina said.
