Bette turned the cell phone over and over in her hands.
“Is that not working? Because I have mine,” Alice said, reaching for her bag.
“It’s working,” Bette sighed.
“Okay great. Then call her.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“Sure it is. I’ll show you,” Alice said, reaching for the phone.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“You know, I realize that you think you have all the time in the world to work this out with Tina. But let me tell you something. You don’t.”
Bette looked up, meeting Alice’s eyes. “What do you mean?”
“Did you get here late? Let me recap the highlights. She’s moving on. She’s trying to get over you. Her heart’s not in it, but she’s dating. Another woman. Who is rich, gorgeous, and has an accent. And the longer you keep ***** around–and I mean that in every possible sense of the words–the less likely you are to get her back.”
Bette crossed her arms defensively. “Who says I want to get her back?”
Alice shook her head. “Okay. Is that just for dramatic effect, or am I supposed to believe that you aren’t still completely wrecked about this?”
Bette shrugged and looked away.
“Great. There’s a mature response,” Alice said.
“Do you…do you think she’ll talk to me?” Bette asked hesitantly.
“You have a better chance of finding out if you actually call her.” Alice was gathering her things, trying to flag down the waitress for the check.
“I don’t know if I’m ready.”
“Well, you’d better get ready. Because every day that passes is one more day that she feels like you’ve given up.”
“She believes that?” Bette was incredulous.
“Jesus, wouldn’t you?”
“It’s not like she’s calling. It’s not like she’s reaching out. She’s the one who walked out on me, remember? She’s the one who gave up.”
Alice leaned in, the look in her eyes pure fire. “Is that what this is about? Waiting to see who comes crawling back first? One of you has to suck it up. And given the circumstances, you’d better start puckering. Don’t let your stubbornness get in the way, Bette. You can be self-righteous all alone or you can be happy with Tina.”
