”what else do you want from me? what do you want to know? I’ll show you. We can talk about my past, about when I met Callie, how, our first date, the most important cases I’ve treated in the hospital, how I was by Amelia’s side for the loss of her brother, everything Tina…you’ll know everything if you want..” now Tina was looking at her again with watery eyes, Bette let a single finger slide from her shoulder to her elbow and then let it fall as if she had burned herself. ”we didn’t have much time I know…it all went so fast and my illness took up too much space..but let us try.”

Tina was now crying uncontrollably, Bette looked at her with a sweet gaze, then looked away with one hand on her hip, she stared at the floor at her feet biting her lip.

Then she slowly backed away, returning towards the kitchen, Tina had remained silent, maybe she was too angry, maybe she didn’t really trust Bette and those words, maybe she wanted more at that moment.

”where are you going?” Tina said almost whispering remaining still on the chair.

”I’m giving you your space, I know you’re very tried and I don’t want you to feel conditioned by my will Tee… if you want to ask me more questions, if you want to know everything about me… I really want it to work.”

”I would like you to go back to thinking about your job Bette…”

”I will, I promise… give me time, please… we’ll talk about it, you and I alone and we’ll figure it out.”

Tina sighed with unexpressed happiness, Bette smiled slightly ”and what else do you want to know?”

”if you missed me.”

Bette raised her eyebrow ”is that really a question?” she saw Tina get off the stool.

”God yes… is that a side of your character?”

”What not to say if I miss someone?”

Tina giggled covering her eyes with her hands as she continued to advance towards Bette to stop in front of the brunette who was leaning with her hands on the sink, one leg crossed in front of the other, such a relaxed posture.
