Bette: No matter where we go, Tina will get tempted by women.

Barbara: True, but still this could change things.

Bette: How?

Barbara: It could be like a second honeymoon for you both and the focus would be on you two, not the world that is going around you.

Bette: I do love the idea of being with my wife all the time, twenty four seven.

Barbara: Well, you can’t smother her either; it has to be a well balanced thing.

Tina: Although Bette close to me and holding me non stop appeals to me. (Bette wrapped her arm around Tina and nuzzled her face in Tina’s hair.)

Barbara: You are more vulnerable than you care to admit, is that correct?

Bette (kissing Tina on the cheek): Maybe so but I can’t help that.

Tina: Oh B, I do love you very much

Bette: I love you even more!

Barbara: Before we talk about the getaway, I would like to take about you are unwilling to forgive yourself, Tina. Why is that?

Tina: I want to forgive myself, really I do. But it is so fucking hard because I failed the one person that truly mattered to me.

Bette (grabbing Tina by the shoulders and looking her straight in the eyes): T, I have failed you before as well. I’ve cheated on you with the carpenter, Candy ass! (Tina and Bette snickered a little bit after Bette said this.) Anyway, I’ve lost you twice and I’ve gotten you back twice. I have forgiven myself for hurting you and you have forgiven me as well. Now it is time for you to forgive yourself.

Tina: Do you forgive me?

Bette (stroking Tina’s bangs away from her face): Oh baby, of course I do.

Barbara: How does that feel for you?

Tina (sighs): A big weight of my shoulders, I just need to hear that I was forgiven.  (Bette took Tina in her arms and held her tightly, stroking the back of her head and was close to tears.)

Barbara: Well this is an excellent break through for you both. Did both of you had a hard time communicating with each other before?

Bette:  Oh yeah but yet at the same time we could communicate without using words like the way we look at each other, our gestures and by how we touch one another.
