“Please come home,” she said quietly, and then
she turned and got into the car.
As the taxi pulled away, Bette did not look back
at Tina. She felt no more anger, just
sadness and a slow, creeping feeling of loneliness.
****
The car horn brought Tina’s attention to the green
light in front of her. She depressed the
accelerator, but her mind was stuck in its thoughts.
She was driving alone away from Bette. Bette was flying alone away from her.
It felt wrong, but so had going back to LA now.
Why did she think
it was going to be easier to go back to LA alone? Her mother said she would, well, insisted that
she would ride back with Tina, but how awkward was that? Especially once they got to LA, she and Bette
had a lot to work out. Hell, she wasn’t’
even officially living with Bette anymore.
She pulled over.
“What am I doing?” She said aloud.
****
“M’am?”
Bette looked up.
She had been looking at the car rental booths and half considering
running over there and renting a car and driving to Diane Kennard’s house and
convincing Tina to come home with her.
“Sorry, what?”
“Any bags to check?”
Bette
looked down at her bag. Was she going to
hoist it into a car trunk or wrestle it into an overhead compartment?
Neither.
“Yes, one.”
Tina
sat with her right hand covering her mouth and her left hand still gripping the
steering wheel. She shook her head and
reached into her bag for her phone. She
pressed the speed dial key for Bette. It
rang. Tina sat up in anticipation of
hearing Bette say “hello”. Instead it
rang three more times and she heard the voicemail begin. “Baby, please pick up.”
