Peggy (proudly): It would be my honor. Now to find someone who can keep an eye on the rest of you. And put Jenny to rest.

Tina (closing her eyes): First Jenny’s funeral arrangements then our wedding plans.

Peggy (softly): I took care of everything. The Funeral’s Saturday. One day only and her ashes will be spread across the ocean. It was what she requested.

Bette and Tina nodded and cuddled closer and put the movie in.  

Backyard
Dylan (watching Helena; they had been out here for the past fifteen minutes after talking with Peggy; Helena had come out and was leaning on the deck rail, quiet, crying and shaking): Hels…

Helena (waving her hand): Leave me alone.

Dylan (getting up): No, sorry can’t do that. (Walking up behind her; placing her hands on her hips, noticing the momentary flinch) relax (wrapping her arms around her. Reaching up she wiped the tears with her thumb and pulled her closer. ) Talk to me (Helena shook her head) please.

Helena (sobbing): I don’t know why you keep coming back. (Sniffling) the first time was your fault, the second one was mine and yesterday and today I hit you and you took it, and kept coming back. Why? Why don’t you just give up?

Dylan (turning her around): Helena Rachel Saba Peabody, I love you. It’s that simple. I’m fucking in love with you and I will not walk away from you, especially since you’re hurting. (Cupping the back of Helena’s neck, kissing the top of her head) you’re the love of my life. It took me this long to find you again and I won’t let you go so easy. (Cupping her face in her hands, caressing her bottom lip) like I said before if you want me to walk away then dammit I will. It’ll kill me but I will give you, your freedom. I’ll give you anything you ask for, anything you need or want. (Softly) the question is, what do you want? (The air around them crackled with tension, things grew quiet and still except for two hearts pounding so hard in time to the other’s.)
