Tina: He is proud of his son but he doesn’t see Patricia as his daughter. He said that she was my daughter when she was born. He didn’t even want to hold her.

Bette: Are you serious?!

Bette looked shocked.

Tina: Yes. It’s true. Nathaniel’s nickname is King…

Bette: Wow, I couldn’t NOT love my kid.

Tina: Well, Eric can.

Bette: It must be hard for Patricia.

Tina: It is. I finally found the strength to ask Eric to be at least nice to her. Try to be her friend and he is trying… I actually asked him after the dinner. I guess I found my strength in meeting you.

Tina and Bette smiled at each other.

Bette: Well, do you want to thank me by dancing with me?

Tina smiled and took Bette’s hand that she was holding out.

Tina: Sure.

Melissa Etheridge’s Feels Like Home had just started playing; Tina and Bette began swaying on the music.

Funny how it turns out, that everything can change
What I feel right now, is not the same as yesterday
There’s more than I imagined, deep inside my heart
The motions that I never knew, and this is just the scar
So many things I’ve been missin
Not watchin, But
That was all in the past
Bette’s hands were around Tina’s waist while Tina’s hands were around Bette’s neck. Their bodies were close together.

Now I realize
There’s so much more to learn
I’m ready for the world, not scared of letting go
Now I realize
There’s so much more to feel, and my heart knows it’s real
The part of me so long forgotten
Is calling and this feels like home
Home, home, feels just like home, home

Tina was holding back a little. She was still married, right?… But then she looked in Bette’s eyes and she couldn’t care less. Tina laid her head on Bette’s shoulder and she had never felt more protected.
Learning how to smile again
Free to show my heart
Knowing I can face the things
That used to seem too hard
I look inside your eyes and see
A different part of me
Of what I didn’t know
I wanna remind for everything I need
So many things I’ve been missin
Not watchin, But
That was all in the past
