They agreed on a time and ended the call.
And Tina was left wondering what Bette had in mind to help ensure she had a good night’s sleep.
************
"All I need is a pot," Tina said as she entered the kitchen.
She had a reusable grocery bag over one shoulder.
Bette retrieved the requested item from the pot drawer.
"Beef stew, that I make in huge batches and freeze," Tina said, after setting a container on the counter. "I put it in the fridge last night to thaw."
"Sounds great," Bette said. She reached to peer in the bag. "What else is in there?"
"Corn bread," Tina said. "Had to bring something to give dinner a Southern flair."
"Low and slow beef stew with corn bread," Bette sighed. "Sounds like a lovely way to end the week."
Once they sat down to dinner – with the requisite bottle of red wine opened of course – they had settled into a casual conversation about their respective romantic histories. As the wine flowed the questions got bolder. Delved a little bit deeper.
"No! Never! Have you?" Tina exclaimed.
"I didn’t expect such a strong reaction," Bette said. "I’m merely trying to learn more about you. And my answer is yes. But then we continued to date for two more years, so the fact that we slept together on the first date becomes immaterial to the proceedings. Your turn."
"Have you ever slept with a man?" Tina asked.
"Yes," Bette gave a mock shudder. "But I identify as lesbian. I didn’t realize it until I was in my 20s though. No men since…25, I think?"
"I dated guys in high school, but fell in love with my college dorm roommate in first year," Tina recalled. "I almost flunked out. So technically no men for me – my only boyfriend was under 18."
"And you never looked back," Bette said.
"Not even one time," Tina said.
"Have you ever lived with someone? In a romantic relationship? I guess other than your coming out affair."
"I was on the move so much for school, that I was never settled enough to want to take on that aspect of relationship life. Roommates provide enough drama."
