“Sure T. Is everything ok?”

“I’ll be there in like thirty minutes.” Tina says, hanging up the phone.

Now Bette was worried. She had noticed that Tina didn’t sound like herself. God she loved that woman. She would do anything for her. Tina Kennard was….no Is the love of her life. She just hoped she was ok.

25 minutes later Tina pulled up in Bette’s driveway. This used to be her driveway too, and hopefully after today they will be on their way back to becoming an US again.

‘You can do this Tina It’s now or never.’

Tina got out of the car. She didn’t think to stop and see how she looked so there she was in some old jeans and one of Bette’s Yale T-shirts on. Way To go Tina. If had been thinking she would have dressed a little nicer than old jeans and a T-shirt.

Bette had been watching for Tina. Mainly because she was excited to see her, but she was still worried for how she sounded on the phone. She stood at the door waiting to open it, and as soon as Tina stepped on the porch she opened the door.

“Hi Tina.”

Bette wasn’t prepared for what she saw. Tina’s eyes were all puffy and red like she had been crying. Her shoulders slumped. She was terrified that something bad had happened. She walked out on the porch and took Tina in her arms. She lifted her up and carried her inside, closing the door with her foot, and landed on the couch. She just held Tina as she cried in her arms.

“Tina what happened? What’s wrong? Is everyone ok?”

“Yea Bette. It’s nothing like that. I just want to talk to you about something.”

“You can tell me anything T you know that.”

“What if I told you I’m sorry?”

“We both made mistakes T, and I would tell you that I’m sorry too.”

“Ok. What if I told that I couldn’t be with Helena anymore?”

“I can’t say that I wouldn’t be happy about that. You know how I feel about you Tina. But, I would ask you why you couldn’t be with Helena anymore.”
