You are.  How are things with Tina? she asked, evenly, almost clinically.

            Danny sat up.  Ok, I think.  I think theyll be ok.

            Maybe I asked the wrong question, she self-corrected.  How are you feeling about Tina and Bette?

            Danny sighed audibly.  I dont believe its right, Caroline.

            So youre going to hug Bette in her own home?  Danny couldnt see it but he knew his sister was shaking her head at him.

            Well, you did and I just felt like I should.  She was so nice to me, in spite of the fact that Im sure she knows the things I said to Tina about her.  But the Bible
            Do not tell me about the Bible, brother.  Ive read it.  You havent.  And it says a lot of things that just arent compatible with humanity in general.  Dont make this argument about that.  Focus on your sister, would you?  Carolines disembodied voice had an eerie voice of reason feel to it, there in the dark.  Danny wondered who the ***** died and made her Yoda.

            You know what, Caroline.  Why dont you just tell me what I think and what I should say? he asked, exasperated.

            Im just trying to prepare you.  Tomorrow you are going to be veritably surrounded by lesbians.  I dont want you making that deer in headlights face.  I met them yesterday and theyre lovely people.  Theyve been her family and they love her, just the way she is.  Dont you think we should too?

            Of course I do.  Can I ask you something?  Well, two things, actually, Danny said.

            Sure.  Go ahead.

            Why do you think Bette and Tina separated?  If anyone had figured it out, Caroline had.

            Carrie sighed.  I knew you were going to ask me that.  I think, from what Bette told me and Helena, of course, that Bette cheated on Tina
            Ill kill her, Danny said in an uncharacteristic outburst.

            Caroline laughed, throaty and low, indulgently.  That was really cute, Danny.  I think there are a couple things we need to remember.  First, Tina forgave Bette.  Second, you can never know what happens between two people.  For evidence of that let us look at our mother and father.
