    Author Notes:

    Chapter 7


    "I rent but I’m considering a move. I’m trying to decide if I’ll extend my leave to stay with the District Attorney’s office after this case is over."

    "You’ve barely begun there," Bette commented.

    "I was testing the waters," Tina replied. "I’m not sure I’m cut out to be an academic. I need a more practical component to my career."

    "Sorry I said that," Bette said. "About being an ivory tower academic. I have complete respect for what you’re doing. You’re fighting a case that matters and you’re doing it with a lot of heart."

    "You’re doing work that needs to be done, too," Tina said. "I just wish you weren’t quite so good at it."

    "Is there any way you can work in a public service capacity?" Bette asked. "Much like how you’ve been involved with the Prop 8 case?"

    "Yes I can, but the thing is, it’s work over and above my responsibilities at the Law School," Tina replied. "You’re either a full time faculty member, vying for tenure, or you’re not. There’s no half way."

    "But at the DA’s office, you can work part time," Bette understood the situation more clearly now. "And not feel as though you’re compromising any professional goals."

    "Exactly," Tina replied. "There’s a lot more flexibility."

    They finished breakfast in relative silence; neither one felt compelled to fill their time together with words. They enjoyed a serene start to a potentially hectic day, their spirited exchange in the back of their minds.

    "No need to take two cars – we’ll come back here for lunch afterwards, right?" Bette said, as if it was a foregone conclusion.

    Tina hadn’t given it much thought, but the way Bette presented the idea made it seem like the only reasonable plan for how the afternoon would unfold. 

    "You don’t have to feed me again," Tina said. "I can get lunch…"

    "Not necessary," Bette replied. "We’ll stop at the market on the way back, get all the freshest of the fresh ingredients and put something together that’s much better than any restaurant meal."

    "Except at your father’s diner," Tina said.

    "That’s like a home cooked meal," Bette said.

    3. I am so glad that you kept w/canon as far as Bette and Tina are concerned. They have different professions but their conversations are true to form. Just the best.

    6. there’s nothing more satisfying and beautiful than a conversation between two intelligent women, no matter if it’s about politics or their attraction. it’s appealing and captivating all the same :)

    7. WOW!!! What MightyMouse said and another great chapter giving us more insight into our girls, their demeanor, and their interaction with, and between each other. They are becoming more attuned and comfortable with each other the more time they spend together and you show it so beautifully. Of course, the more time spent together the closer they become and less mysterious to each other and find they have more in common than they thought. Since Bette mentioned spending the next four Saturday afternoons together I think they have solved the problem of the five weeks. We know Tina loved that proposal. I had wondered about Bette’s mother and you answered my questions in this chapter. Your writing transports us into their world and it is a wonderful place to be. Thank you for that ability. I do so love this story, I know you can’t tell.lol

    12. WOW. I’m running out of superlatives to describe your writing, jks. What more can I say? That these seven chapters are close to perfection? That I’m relishing every crumb, every morsel of this lovely story. That I heart watching the sparks fly whenever they spar verbally. That I love the way you’ve recreated and re-envisioned the characters of Bette, Tina and most especially Melvin. I’ve smiled from earring to earring while reading your recent posts, jks. This story’s a soothing balm to my dead-tired soul. A thousand times thank you and please write on! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! =)
