"Happy to be of service," Bette laughed. "Whatever your needs might be."
"I need food," Tina said. "It’s almost noon."
"I’m hungry too. It won’t take long to get something on the go."
"If the weather is anything like yesterday, we should have lunch on the patio," Tina said. "But then I have to go home. I have a lot of work to do."
"Meet me for lunch Wednesday?" Bette said. "And maybe stay over that night? It’ll shorten your work commute…"
"If I say yes, you’ll let me get some work done until then?"
"Promise," Bette said solemnly.
"Then yes," Tina said. "Let’s go. We’ve already slept half the day away."
They ate on the patio before Tina departed with the intention of re-focusing her attention on her work.

"I’m surprised to hear from you," Bette said. "I thought you’d be working late."
"Everything is falling into place," Tina replied. "And I appreciate that you’re giving me the time to get so much done. I’m sure you could distract me if you wanted to."
"But if I distract you, you might not stay on Wednesday night," Bette said. "And I’d rather have you here Wednesday than keep you on the phone for an hour or two tonight."
"This call won’t be that long," Tina said. "I’d rather see you in person too."
"I wish I could kiss you right now."
"I’ll have to make due with memories from this morning," Tina replied. "And believe me, I will be offering a few reminders when we see each other on Wednesday."
"You won’t have to work that night?"
"I’m all yours," Tina replied.
"You can be assured I will attend to your every need."
"And I look forward to returning the favor," Tina said. "Repeatedly."
"I can’t see you until Wednesday?" Bette asked.
"I get a lot done at home," Tina said. "I have my office set up and all kinds of reference books. You could stay over tomorrow but I know you don’t want to drive further on Tuesday morning."
"If the trade off is spending the night with you, I don’t mind," Bette replied.
"Really?"
"Absolutely," Bette said.
"Even if you can’t come over until nine?" Tina was skeptical Bette would accept such a condition.
"Will I get to share a bed with you?" Bette asked.
"Of course," Tina said.
"Will you whisper in my ear as I fall asleep?"
"You liked that, didn’t you?"
"Sweet dreams to me," Bette replied.
"Anything to help you have sweet dreams."
"I’ll be there at nine," Bette said. "If you have time tomorrow, give me a call. I’m in the office all day. Otherwise text me your address."
"I will," Tina replied. "Have a good sleep."
"You too," Bette replied.
They resisted saying their goodbyes for a few minutes – the back and forth of not really wanting to hang up. But eventually they disconnected the call, both eagerly anticipating seeing each other again sooner than originally planned.
