Drowning – 29

“OK, so take me out of my misery. You and Tina still love each other, right?”
“Yes, Robyn, we do.” Bette pulled her eyes from Robyn, unable to fully meet her glance. “That wasn’t really ever in question.”
“Great, Bette, I’m glad I was able to keep you company while you waited it out with Tina. I would’ve hated for you to be lonely.”
“That isn’t fair.” She reached out to for Robyn’s arm, “Wait, just let me finish ok? Then you can go off in your tirade. But let me finish first.”
“Fine, go ahead.” Robyn answered, more out of the need to get this over with than to actually listen to what Bette had to say. She had been more than patient with the Tina situation throughout their relationship. At this point, her patience level just wasn’t that high.
“Thank you.” Bette started walking into the living room, “Can we sit please?”
Not sure that her voice would actually support her right now, Robyn simply nodded.
“Like I was saying, the question that needed to be answered wasn’t do we love each other. I think it was somewhat given. The fact that we avoided seeing each other for so long answered that question. The real question was what do we want to do about it.”
Bette took a few seconds to gather her thoughts, or in reality to gather her emotions. It wasn’t an easy day. There were too many reminders of the past, of pains she has long since forgotten about that were suddenly front and center again.
“That wasn’t the easiest question to answer. We have both moved on in our lives, me with you,” Bette looked up at Robyn and smiled weakly, “And Tina with Cara and her new home and career. But at the same time there has always been thisthis”
“Chemistry?”
“Draw. Yes, there has always been this thing that draws us together. It’s been like inexplicable thing that just pulls us together, draw. Yes, that’s is.”
“Nice, Bette, really, nice.”
“No, Baby, I don’t mean it like that.” Bette’s struggle for her words was obvious. Her eyes were brimming with tears and she couldn’t contain the emotion. She wasn’t quite sure what the emotion was. For so many years, she had been comfortable with the idea of Tina and the love they shared somewhere in the back of her head, with her life with Robyn. She had learned that accepting reality wasn’t always the equivalent of settling.
