    Amicus Curiae


    "In all fairness, she doesn’t know you’re gay," Tina replied. "And she certainly doesn’t know we’ve been…we’ve been…"

    "What have we been doing?" Bette asked. She was interested in hearing Tina’s interpretation.

    "Contemplating the possibilities?" Tina suggested.

    "Why don’t you write back to her and say you woke up in my bed this morning?" Bette asked. "It’s true, even though it implies something that didn’t happen."

    "That would end the email exchange," Tina smiled as she thought of the likely reaction that would result from such a reply. "I didn’t think we said anything in front of anyone that was even remotely inappropriate."

    "Sometimes people see more than they hear," Bette replied. "Was it Janine?"

    "How did you know?" Tina asked.

    "She brought her laptop into the conference room just when you had leaned over to whisper something to me," Bette said. "She did a double take and left in a hurry."

    "Other people were in the room, I was just trying to be discreet," Tina sighed. 

    "Let me reiterate, you can whisper in my ear anytime you’d like…"

    "What did I even say? Do you remember?"

    "You suggested I save the due process argument for after the break so we could focus on one approach at a time."

    "Sorry we didn’t get to it at all," Tina said. "Tempers were running high this morning."

    "You did a good job of keeping the group on task," Bette said. "That’s not easy with so many strong willed people."

    "Strong willed," Tina pondered aloud. "That’s a kinder way of saying stubborn. I’ll put that in my collection of euphemisms for when I want to describe your personality."

    "I fear the list of adjectives you have for my personality," Bette laughed.

    "You shouldn’t," Tina replied. "It’s largely positive."

    "The negatives are what offer depth to a person’s character," Bette said. "I have a mental list of adjectives for you too, you know."

    "We’ll exchange evaluations some time," Tina said, reaching for the tea pot. "Treat it as our own personal self improvement exercise."

    They were silently grateful they had met, and had been granted a chance to discover they had so much more in common than a shared profession.

    1. 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.

    2. 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 :)

    3. 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

    4. 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! =)
