"Tina don’t back away, we need to talk."
"I had an awful day at work today," Tina explained. "I am willing to take just about any comfort available, but I don’t think I should seek it out from you."
Bette reached for her hand under the table and ran her fingers across the palm in a way she knew would elicit a certain memory.
Tina tried to withdraw her hand but Bette’s grip was firm.
"Don’t do that," she said quietly. She didn’t want to be affected as much as she was by a simple, seemingly innocent touch.
"I’ve been trying to call you for days," Bette said. "Just to talk. To explain. To figure out what we should do."
"I wasn’t ready to talk," Tina replied. "I’m too conflicted when you’re there. And I know you’re with someone else."
"But I’m not anymore," Bette replied. "That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you."
Tina stopped trying to back away. And Bette felt a subtle squeeze from Tina’s fingers against her hand.
"I went home and cried myself to sleep after I kissed you, because all I wanted was for you to be there with me," Bette made an uncharacteristic admission of emotional frailty. "I ended it with Jodi the next day."
"I have no idea what I’m supposed to say to that," Tina replied. Her actions spoke volumes as the continued contact of their fingertips elicited a rush of physical response as emotions were laid bare. "I don’t know what I want."
"I want to continue this conversation somewhere else," Bette said.
"I have to pick up Angie in an hour," Tina said. She felt Angie presented a perfect excuse – one that would slow this conversation down.
"Why don’t you go get her now and I’ll meet you at your place?"
Tina paused to consider the idea. Angie would be there. Nothing could happen with Angie there. They’d really be able to talk.
"Okay," she agreed.
They deserted their drinks, barely touched since they sat down with them, and made their way to their cars for the short drive to Tina’s condo.
Once all three were there, the conversation became re-focused on Angie. Angie was pleased both her moms were there to entertain her. That didn’t happen very often, though she had no idea why.
