Barbara: That is good but communicating also comes with words as well.

Tina: I understand that but it is so fucking hard to do it sometimes and I need you to bear with me, B.

Bette (kissing Tina, then pulling away): Of course I will, T.

Barbara: Now, where do you think you lovebirds want to go for a getaway?

Tina (looking at Bette): Where do you want to go, babe?

Bette: I was thinking it should be far from the city, from this fucking mess!

Tina: Like where?

Bette: How about Whittier?

Tina: Why there? Everything bad happened there! We scattered Dana’s ashes there, you kidnapped Angelica over a miscommunication between us…

Bette (putting her finger on Tina’s lips): I know you were going to say that but let me tell you this. It would be perfect a place to be away from the smog, the noise and so much more. What happened in Whittier was in the past and it could be romantic there this time.

Barbara: Bette does have a point.

Tina: I don’t know…

Bette: Just think of this, both of us skiing together on the slopes and me being your own ski bunny. (Tina blushed when she heard this and Bette grinned while Barbara looked on in amusement.) We can snuggle near an open fire and me making love to you as much as you want and need me to.

Tina: It does have its perks so I’ll say yes!

Bette (beaming at her wife): I am so proud of you, baby!

Tina: What for?

Bette: Just for the changes you are willing to make even though it makes you uncomfortable. I can’t believe you can’t see that!

Tina: I’m a bit modest, that’s all!

Barbara: Are you a modest person usually?

Tina: I can be.

Bette: And you are so fucking cute when you are!

Tina (blushing): Not here, B!

Bette (giggling): Why not, T?

Barbara: You two are having fun there, aren’t you? Well I’m taking that as a sign of a good step in the right direction.

Tina: Well, before we go I just want to tell you that I am interesting in going to a sex addict’s support group but after we get back from our get a way.
