As everybody fussed around the passengers, greeting them and listening to their tales about France, Shane noticed that Tina was missing. She looked around and spotted her, a few steps away, standing there dangerously pale.

Shane walked to her and took her to the newt room.

« I don’ know what’s going on, but you look like you’re about to faint. I’m gonna take you to your cabin Ok? You should lie down for a while. Come on Tina, let’s get you rested. »

Shane took Tina to her cabin, letting the blond use her as a crutch. Tina looked like a weak little girl at the edge of crying. She led the blond down and left.

Once alone, Tina left out the tears she was holding.

« What is she doing here. What the fuck!? I’m not crazy. She’s her. She’s. She’s the woman I saw kissing Jodie at this fucking show. The one she confessed was her soulmate. The married one she admited she had been cheating on me with for three years. So. Marina ‘s the name. Ma-ri-na. »

Suddenly, the only thing Tina could here was Jodie’s voice, screaming Marina’s name in the wavec of ecstasy. She remebered that passionnate kiss as if she only witnessed it yesterday. She fell asleep exhausted, wondering what Marina and Jodie’s life was like for those three years.

Two hours later, Tina woke up. The first thing she saw was Bette’s face, looking at her with worry. She felt the tears coming back but held them.

« Hey… You scared me. I was worried about you. » Bette said softly.

« I’m sorry I was. I’ve been caught of guard I guess. »

« Can I ask you what happened? »

« As it’s probably going to interfere with my work in some way, I guess I should tell you. »

« I don’t want you to tell me because I’m your boss. I want it to be because you feel like you can trust me. If you’d rather cofide in somone else, please feel free. »

« No, that’s not what i meant. It’s not because of talking to you. It’s because of talking about it. »

She took a long breath.

« As you have probably figured out, I’m a lesbian. »
