“Molly, “she says staring up at her, “I had not I had other matters to attend to.”

“All is well I hope?”

“Yes, yes of course.” 

“And you, “she says removing her clothes sorting them.

“I’ll be better once I receive rest.”

“You have not slept well?”

“No, not since Shane departed my mind more often at night tends to wonder.”

“Understood, I too worry over the safety of my wife, “she says submerging her dress under water.

“Her safety is always a concern, “she says smiling at her, “It’s just——apologies I did not mean to force private matters upon you.”

“None required, I cannot give much but offer a listening ear.”

“Gratitude, “she says as she too submerges her dress underwater, “Shane my woman has embarked on a journey accompanied by many including her ex-woman before me.” Mollys revelation caused Tina to pause a moment.

“Her ex-woman!?”

“Yes, her ex-woman well she held more favorable position they were promised to wed.” The shock expression on her face spoke volumes.

“Yet you still agreed to see her off?”

“What choice did I have in the matter she is a soldier completion of task seemed greater than the cause of assuring jealous heart.”   

“You are jealous?”

“My heart would not feel such foolish——–.”

“She must be beautiful.”

“Ones looks are not——-,”She cuts herself seeing Tinas awkward gaze upon her, “I spoke with false tongue ones looks are important Shane assured me I had nothing to concern myself with.”

“Do you trust her to honor those words, “she says removing the dress from the water unfolding it open to dry, “Or do you believe feelings still linger?”

“Shane has a past.”

“Don’t we all.”

“Not all past are filled with laying with more women than the citizens of Lesbiannicus and Cordelia combined.”

“Molly us crossing paths I do believe it was fated to be so as my wife has similar past.”

“Bette, “she says ringing the access water from one her gowns.

“Yes, Bette I have yet to meet a soldier who does not have one gone for months at a time temptation distracts both the body and eyes.”

“Temptation, so you believe the same as I Shane lays with her, “she says with fear and worry in her voice.
