“Yes. With web cameras too.” Tina adds.

“Yeah.” Bette says.

It’s Bette’s turn in the check-in. She hands them the luggage and her reference number. Moments later she has her ticket and they walk to the security check. They know they have to say goodbye there. They have two hours, luckily for them the plane is an hour and a half delayed.

A tear is slipping down Tina’s cheek. Bette guides her to a café with booths. Luckily for them that one in the back which is a little secluded, is vacant. Bette guides them over there. She then walks back to the counter and orders two coffees. She brings them back and takes a seat next to Tina. She’s wiping her tears away. Bette pulls Tina down so she’s leaning on her shoulder, with Bette’s arm around her. They sit in silence for a few minutes.

“I’m glad the flight is delayed.” Tina says softly, looking up into Bette’s eyes.

“I am too.” Bette replies with a kiss on Tina’s forehead. “I’m going miss not being able to hold you or kiss you good night.” Bette says, now her turn to wipe the tears away. “And Angie, it’s hard leaving her, even if it’s only for a month.” Bette says.

“I know baby. I feel exactly the same. But I’m convinced that it’ll be good for us. We get to miss each other and have time to ourselves, giving us moments to think about us, what we want and where we want to go. Giving us time to source out the wrongs we did in the past, so we don’t do them in the future.” Tina says as she sits up straight and takes Bette’s hand and softly squeeze it.

“I know baby, but it’s still hard.” Bette replies and gives her a smile. “I am so lucky to have you. I love you T.” Bette says and leans in and places a soft loving kiss on Tina’s lips.

“I love you too.” Tina replies.

“And you did buy that webcam, so we’re able to see each other everyday. But babe, I really hope you’re able to come home for a weekend.” Tina says.

“I do too, but… In that time I can do so much, no interruptions, if you know what I mean, I can get a lot done, that way I’ll be able to cut back a little when you guys get there…. I tell you what! I’ll see how much I get done in two weeks time, okay? And if I’m on top of things then I’ll try to come home for the weekend.” Bette says.
