“I pushed it and shouldn’t have.” They had talked on this subject many times, but Dana kept apologizing and lobbing it over to Lara who would apologize, too, before sending the subject back to Dana.
“It was the push I needed.” The two women were standing inches apart and if either one of them had moved their heads the space of a quarter, their lips would have met. When one moved in, the other moved back. Both knew that if the kiss happened, it wouldn’t be the last. Finally, Lara stepped back, but kept the connection by lightly caressing the side of Dana’s face with the palm of her hand. “I don’t want to jeopardize our friendship. I should leave.”
Dana’s hand came up to not only hold Lara’s in place, but to let her know that this touch held meaning for her, too. “Right. I like the meals. A lot. So, I think it would be cool to do this. I swear if I gain weight, I’ll kill you.” Dana grinned.
Lara let her hand drop to her side, but Dana held on to it. “You might gain some muscle, but frankly, Dane, you need some.”
“Funny, ha-ha.”

Kit sat in her office at The Planet. She was just starting her renovations. Her portion of Melvin’s estate was more than she had predicted. He had been filled with such venom for her most of her life that she hadn’t anticipated getting a dime from him. When she learned what he had left, she almost fainted. Her inheritance meant that she could get the bank out of her pocket once and for all. The Planet could be hers.
She sat at Marina’s old desk signing checks. She ripped the last check out of her ledger and smiled. This was the first time in her life that she wasn’t worried about money. She had a nest egg that she wouldn’t deplete and her new business was the exception to the rule—it was making money hand over fist. She couldn’t complain.
She found the architect she wanted and showed her the plans she had envisioned when she first bought the space. The architect understood that vision and was working with her to make it a reality. She was renovating the public bar and café space, adding a larger, sturdier stage area, opening up what had been a small deck for outdoor seating, and she was reworking Marina’s old office. Kit’s private room was turning into a multi-purpose space. It was her office where there were files in fancy cabinets, a desk that had held beautiful oak accessories for office supplies, a nice sofa-sleeper was brought in for the many late nights she anticipated when The Planet became a club in the evenings. She decorated this room with Afrocentric art—handwoven baskets and sandstone sculpture were placed on shelves, paintings and photographs of African villages, groups of women, and the Serengeti were on the walls. She was waiting to receive furniture from this Ghanaian importer. Kit had toured in Africa years ago and had fallen in love with the warm colors and styles she saw in the homes of the people of Ghana. Last week she ordered chairs, a bench, some side tables and three wooden CD holders. She doubted her sister would appreciate her own version of an artistic eye, but this was her space, not Bette’s.

Seems like with Bette and Tina its they always need to talk. A person in a coma can still hear, ,radio,TV,and human voices. Bette needs to tak,and talk and talk. Tina always loved Bettes voice. thanks
Ooooh–Bette is a wench for saying that about Tina, but I understand the frustration and doubt she must be feeling about Tina’s recovery. I love your footnotes!
The L Word 3: The Missing 6 Months! Thank you for taking on this task. To quote Nelly (and DeBarge): “I like it,(I know you like it)I like it,I really,really like it.I want it,adore it.” …Glad you’re back! Keep up the good work! Reading your writing is my pleasure!
As much as I love Bette…and I do, she is my favorite character…I think that was an incredibly selfish thing for her to say…that she thinks Tina is in a coma because she is somehow punishing her. Geez Bette! Thanks!
i hope tina will wake up soon and see her baby, so she and bette can start their family again
I have to agree with Seahurst…Bette is so egocentric and selfish. And, she is my favorite character. Her vows included in sickness and in health.
When a loved one is in a coma for a long period of time, your own brain begins to wonder why this is happening. You begin to fight within your ownself as to why the person you love is still in this state. In this case Bette can not understand why Tina is not there (awake) and by now she is struggling with life in general. Why is it that some people can wake up within a matter of hours while others never wake up? Tina is there, she somehow has to pull herself out of the gray fog. Hopefully with the new faculities she will get the needed therapy.
Well, is Bette using daring Tina to wake up by saying that?
she has to keep talking to her… tina can hear … coma patients can hear whats going on around them.. so bette needs to keep telling tina all about angielica and the girls and how much she loves her… bette had to stop the negitively… just positive things to get tina back…keep it going… please continue
No one can say how you will respond to a loved one on a coma. It must be totaly devestating. I personaly don’t think that Bette’s remark is selfish at all. It may be irrational, but think one’s mind goes into overdrive when you fear lossing the one they love. I cried while reading this story. (Sorry, I am a Tina fan) Please let Tina be alright. let her wake up! Lovely Story!!
when my dad passed away he was sick before hand for a long time…the last day he slowly fell into a coma, anyway, my point being is that they tell you even though the person in a coma can’t respond, the hearing is the last thing to go. They can hear you as you talk to them…and so I talked and talked…Bette get off your confused horse and TALK. Again, we have not had a bountiful story like this to sink our teeth into for awhile…THANKYOU
