“What are you thinking about?” asked Shane, slightly concerned by Tina’s body language.

“Bette asks me that a lot.” said Tina, still feeling unsure.

“Bette?” asked Shane, confused by who Tina was talking about.

“My girlfriend.” replied Tina, shaking her head at the idea that Shane wouldn’t know who Bette was.

“It’s funny that I know so little about you and yet I came here today looking for you. Hoping that you would be here.” said Shane, her voice getting quieter as she spoke.

“If it’s any consolation, I hoped you would turn up again one of these days as well.” said Tina, thinking that she had revealed a little too much of herself.

“I don’t really know you though” said Shane, edging her chair a little closer to Tina’s.

“We could get to know each other better.” said Tina, a slight smile on her face.

“Oh yeah, and how would we do that?” asked Shane, a myriad of things running through her mind.

“We could play a little game.”

“Are you ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.”

“OK, here’s your first choice…..”

“Wait, what if I can’t decide?”

“The whole point of the game is that you go with your gut instinct. There isn’t anything to decide.”

“OK, well, I’m not sure.” said Shane, now feeling hesitant about this game she was playing out with Tina.

“I’ll make the first one easy for you.” replied Tina, sensing Shane’s unease.

“You’d better.” laughed Shane, feeling a bit more comfortable.

“Michael Jackson or Prince?”

“You’re such a child of the eighties.” laughed Shane, leaning back in her chair as she did so.

“You’re not supposed to be making comments about how old I am. Just answer the question. Michael Jackson or Prince?” said Tina, knowing that she had been found out.

“Prince.” said Shane, in mock seriousness.

“OK, that’s more like it. Alright then, here’s another one.
