“Helena !! “

“Hello you two – its good to see you both out “

They all hugged – Helena could see that they were both slowly getting back onto their feet.

“What are you doing here ?”

“She wanted someone to support her – I think she was worried in case no one showed up”

“This looks a decent turn out “

“Its not Serena or Venus or the blessed Martina but its not bad – there was about 20 people here when we arrived “

“Many lesbian crazy fans ?” Bette asked

“One or two – they are lurking “

“Shall we buy something and get her to sign it ?” Tina asked

“No – its cruel”

“Wish I had known – we could have had some fun “

“I have just remembered there is something I need – wont be a minute “ Bette winked and headed off towards the rails. Helena and Tina watched her for a few minutes

“She looks a lot better “ Helena said

“She is – she has just shocked me with what a good patient she is”

“How are you doing ? Have you stopped worrying yet ?”

Tina smiled “I am still a little anxious but she is sleeping well, eating loads “

“Is she going to be okay for the wedding ?”

“Oh yeah “

“And you ?”

“I am still weary “ Tina admitted “But things are getting better – we started to talk about resuming our sexual relationship”

“That sounds promising “ Helena said wondering why Tina looked doubtful

“I just worry “

“All you seem to be doing is worrying “ Helena said “She does look so much better. Relax Tina – I know that its in your nature to worry but Bette is getting herself together. If I know you – you will be worrying about not having sex and worrying about having sex – why don’t you just let it happen naturally – rather like how the two of you broke your duck when you got together “

“It seems the only way to do it “

“Here’s Bette back”

Bette was smiling – “I got what I wanted “

They all stood and chatted until they reached the front of the line
