“No.”

            “Come with us?  Daisy will be there…”  Bette eluded and Ro snorted,

            “I told the girl I was
straight.”  Ro stated, opening the door
and walking out, letting it click closed softly as she left.

            “Straight my *****.”  Candace said Bette looked at the money, in awe at the selflessness of
the Latina.  There was a
few hundred grand in there, if not more. 
Whatever she’d given Candace the first time around, and more. 

            “Never judge a book by its
cover.”  Bette said softly and Candace nodded.

            Tina was moving around the house slowly,
feeling pangs of guilt, feeling pangs of longing.  She cracked her neck, making Cass wince from the door of the bedroom. 

            “Sorry honey.”  Tina said, and Daisy let out a yell from the bathroom.

            “I can’t find the hair dye!”  She bellowed and Tina gave Cass a funny look, they both walked out and into the
bathroom of the apartment.  The house,
having been put on hold for two more weeks. 

            “Dye?”  Cass asked and Daisy yanked the door open, her hair a wet
mass on her head, and she grunted.

            “Stripper, whatever.  I want to take the black out of my hair.”

            “You don’t have black hair?”  Tina asked and Daisy cocked her head to the left, shaking
her head. 

            “The carpet doesn’t match the
drapes.  Where did you guys put it?”  Daisy insisted and she pushed passed them
both, people dealt with grief differently. 

            “Daisy, why don’t you wait…?”  Cass began but the stormy look she got from Daisy told her
to not push her luck.  Daisy pulled open
a box, throwing things over her shoulder until she came up with the box.

            “You did pack it.”  Daisy said, pushing into the bathroom again,
and slamming the door in Tina and Cassandra’s face.

            “Teenagers.”  Cassandra offered and Tina giggled, Cass leaned down, kissing her gently.  Tina sighed into the kiss, grabbing her roughly and
kissing her hard, making Cass gasp.

            “Do we have time?”  Cassandra asked and Tina looked at her watch, nodding and they
both ran to the bedroom the door slamming hard and Daisy poked her head out of
the bathroom.  She let out a yell.
