Tina (sighing; understanding Bette’s feelings all too well): I know, we had, hurt each other so much, and slowly we were picking up all the pieces and I just couldn’t take seeing you and not being able to touch you or hold you. I know you weren’t happy with Jodi. I knew that you were settling for second best.

Bette (kissing the back of Tina’s hand): I was scared, I didn’t want to be alone. I would lay in bed at night all these thoughts of why Jodi and I weren’t meant to be and then I would think of you and why you and I should be together.

Tina (adjusting the blanket): When I came over that day, you know when Angie was with Kit, I was determined to show you what I wanted or walk away and I wasn’t prepared for that, to walk away. I couldn’t (softly) I wanted Angie to have both of her mother’s at home, I wanted you to be happy and I wasn’t going to hold back any longer.

Bette (smiling): No you didn’t.  

Tina (laughing): No, I knew what you liked, what you needed and how you needed it.  

Bette (remembering back to the first time they had made love; after they had officially gotten back together; the first round was gentle teasing; the second round though): You blew my fucking mind.

Tina (remembering how she had done so): You were in the kitchen, putting dinner together for us and you were wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top and Gods I just wanted you.
Bette (laughing): And if I recall you took me, against the wall, bent over, pounding into me, knowing Kit could come in at any moment and that would have been the explanation from hell.

Tina (licking the bottom of Bette’s lip): We were supposed to be talking (sliding her tongue into Bette’s mouth) and instead we were (moaning as Bette licked her lips and slid her tongue inside. Surrendering, needing, aching, knowing that this was part of so much that they had lost; their lives had become mundane; their passions had cooled and had become mundane as well, they took each other for granted. She silently vowed to never, ever do that again.)
