“Hey Bette thank you for the past few weeks it was really great.”

“Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your vacation I also enjoyed it.”

“Yeah we all head a great time with you, didn’t we Tina?”

“Yeah of course, we had a great time thank you.”

“Well I have an early flight so it was really, really a great pleasure to meet you all.”

She gives them all a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“I hope to see you all again some day.”

“Hopefully”

They said their goodnight’s and they all went to their rooms.

While Bette was folding her clothes and putting them in her suitcase she heard a knock at the door.

“Be right there.” She answers it and it was Tina. “Oh Tina hey.”

“Hey I just wanted to say something.”

“Okay”

They stood there for a second.

“Umm can I come in?”

“Oh yeah, of course sorry.”

She closed the door.

“Would you like something to drink?”

“No I’m okay, I just wanted to say about last night. Can we not make it a big deal? I mean last night was great I mean more than great, I haven’t felt like that in… ever actually. I never knew that sex could be that great…”

“Tina hold on a sec, so you came over to tell me the sex was great.”

“Yeah I mean no, I mean that too, but I also wanted to say that this is our last night and with me in L.A. and you in east coast, we might not ever get to see each other again. I was just wondering if we could,” she moves closer to Bette, “spend the night together.”

“Are you sure?”

Tina slowly gives her a kiss.

“I’m sure”

They begin kissing one another, undressing one another, leading each other to the bed. That night they both couldn’t believe how good the sex was. They connected like they have never connected to any one in their whole lives. Bette was a different person from that night on and so was Tina.

The next morning Tina rolled over expecting to hug another body but there was no one there, but she did see a card with a white tulip. She was a little sad that she didn’t get to say good bye but she was also a little happy that they were able to make a clean break from one another. She smelt the flower, read the card and admired Bette’s calligraphy.

The card read:

“Dear Tina,

        Sorry I didn’t say good bye, I just wanted to keep last night our final memory of one another. Maybe we’ll see each other some day. Take care.

Bette

P.S. I left a couple of cards for Lilly & Sadie.”

 She just smiled.

On the flight back Lilly noticed something a little different about Tina and she wondered if she and Bette had… she shook head, ‘Naw, I don’t think so.’ So that was their trip to Napa Valley. It was a trip they knew they were never going to forget.
