Tina watched as Bette undressed and sometimes looked towards her with a mischievous smirk almost taunting her to make a move. Tina wanted to but the bed was far to comfortable to move, and besides that she did strain herself during their early morning encounter.

“No I mean her pants were an ugly print of… whatever. The poor girl looked like she bathed in 1994 South Beach. It was weird and her hair was desperately trying to run away from her face which was…” Alice stopped boring Shane with her assessment of one the girls Alice ran into on the street.

Shane didn’t notice until Alice’s voice was not hammering her brain, “What? What’s wrong?” she asked and turned a full circle to see what Alice was staring at with her mouth wide open and her body frozen. She looked further and saw that Tina was wrapped completely around Bette, they were in a corner booth clearly talking like they used to, the only difference was the slight glint of love in both of their bodies. Alice after recovering rushed over to them and attacked each with hugs and kisses. Shane followed and stood patiently while Bette and Tina were both wrapped tightly by Alice.

“Hey Shane.” Bette said forcefully releasing herself from Alice’s grip and standing to hug her. “I missed you.” she said.

“I missed you too.” she said still hugging her friend. A statement that meant more than the words could hold but neither needed to voice what was already placed in the small words. Not only did she look better but her whole demeanor was built back to what it used to be and her smile was definitely back full force.

Alice released Tina and went into full attack mode, “How come you didn’t tell us you were coming out here? …” and the onslaught of never ending questions began. Tina could barely get a word out, Alice jumped in with another question and another until she was filled in on everything that happened since she last saw Tina.

They were now done with breakfast and were just enjoying each other’s company when Tina noticed some women staring at Shane. Normally she would’ve just chocked that up to the norm except these women were a bit beyond Shane’s normal age limit, and if not this was a new discovery for Tina.
