"Hey, anybody home?" She asked waving her hand in my face. Note to self: cut inner monologues short.

"Yeah, I’m good."

"Shane told you?"

"Long story. The point is why is that bad now? It’s not anyone like even remembers that crap."

"A lesbian never forgets."

"I thought that was an elephant?"

"Point is, here at this little lesbian mecca fittingly known as the Planet, people don’t forget things like that. Especially when it came to Bette and I."

"Anyone ever told you that you’re a tad dramatic?"

"I practically live with Dani, so yes I hear it often."

"Must be the movie business doing that for you."

"Plus this is Kit’s place. I don’t really think it’s appropriate for her ex sister in law to come traipsing in here wanting things."

"Ok you need to stop. It’s not like you’re coming in here to throw tables or make out with someone of an undetermined sex in the middle of this joint. You’re here because your ex wants you here. And you need to be here anyway."

"Why’s that?" I sighed heavily, hoping that I wouldn’t have to spell it out for her. Do I have to explain every little thing to these people. This is getting a little exhausting.

"You need to start building your bridges and mending your fences with those ladies over there. They miss you know. Especially Dana.

"But she just walked right passed me when she came in."

"Well you didn’t very well try to speak to her did you?"

"I can’t. It’s not my place."

"Oh my God. And the award for Best Dramatic Actress in a Coffee Shop goes to…"

"I don’t know. Maybe I should wait for Bette to get here. You know act as a buffer." I bet in all of the years that Tina has known all of these women, including when her and Bette were separated., she never thought she would need protection from Dana of all people.

"Come on Tina, don’t be a pussy. Ow!! Fuck!!" Wham another slap to the head.

"Language." Bette, I should have known.

"Why do you always show up at the most inopportune times?" I asked glaring at her.

"To keep you out of trouble." She responded also glaring. "Where’s your better half?" She asked looking around me.
