‘’So is that what you and Jenny were talking about at the dance and the fact that whenever Jenny tried to get near me you were always there and interrupted us and pulled me away. You know Bette you went to great lengths to stop me from finding basically nothing out, that makes it all just a little hard to figure out. Why go to all those lengths to stop me from finding out??’’

‘’Tina, I know what it looks like, but we were ‘are’ going so good in our relationship, but you were getting all that shit from work that I just didn’t want to add to it. I was… erm… waiting for the right time. I know I should of told you the minute you got back from New York, but I just….. I don’t know….. just couldn’t find the…. the right way to tell you.

‘’Bette, there’s no right time or right way to tell me that you supposedly business partner hit on you, but don’t you get it, that is how we broke last time. We didn’t communicate to each other, we just let things fester and hoped that they went away, but they don’t they always have a habit of sneaking up on you when you least expect it and bite you in the ass, and you know the saying ‘be sure thy sins will find the out’. It’s true, they always do.’’

‘’But I believe you, that nothing happened between you and Kelly, I know that because I know you and that you wouldn’t have been able to have made love to me the way that you have, with the intensity that you have. I know that you love me and that you have to know that I love you with all my heart and soul.

Bette sat with tears in her eyes and smiled and leaned in and kissed Tina on the lips, pulled away slightly and whispered.

‘’Thank you!’’

‘’For What’’ Tina asked

‘’For believing me, in us. I made that promise and I will never break it, I swear T’’

They both sat there hugging each other for a few moments and then Bette pulled away.

‘’Don’t go’’ Tina Whispered

‘’T as we are setting the boundry’s of our relationship, and I completely agree with you that, we have to communicate more verbally to each other, I think it may be a good start to tell each other what went on in the interrogation room tonight, don’t you?’’

Tina looked at Bette and just then she knew she would have to re-live that horrible part of her life and why after so many years she hadn’t told her about it.
