Tina: …I can’t believe you actually dragged Henry into this….ack…

Tina begins walking towards the door.

Bette: Tee…

Tina stops and turns around.

Tina: What, Bette.

Bette gets out of bed and walks towards Tina.  Tina doesn’t move.  Bette reaches out with her left hand.

Bette: I’m sorry…

Bette’s facial expression matches the words.  Tina takes Bette’s left hand with her right and they embrace.

Tina: I just hope that those two can be happy, Bette.  They could use it.

Bette: Yeah.  I think we all could.  Maybe we can be happy, too.

Bette places her head against Tina’s right shoulder and sighs.

Tina: We’re working on it, baby…we’re working on it…  Come on
back to bed…  Angelica’s gonna be crying and waking us up soon
enough so…

Tina laughs and Bette smiles.

Bette: The joy of motherhood.

Leigh’s bedroom doesn’t have conversations involving words.  What
takes place between Leigh and Carmen is purely physical.  Carmen
has dropped her jeans and panties to the floor and is now on top of
Leigh in bed.  Their tongues wrestle as their naked bodies girate
against each other.  Carmen is mounted on top of Leigh’s right leg
as Carmen’s right hand explores the wonders of Leigh’s inner left thigh
working its way up to the wetness that is Leigh’s womanhood. 
Leigh’s moaning becomes more audible as a pair of fingers penetrate
their way inside of her.  Their bodies rock back and forth as
Leigh arches back in ecstacy. As Carmen’s fingers go in a continued
motion inside of Leigh, her mouth waters and finds it way down to
Leigh’s right nipple.  Sweat portrudes from their bodies and the
moans get louder for both until Leigh climaxes, releasing to the
outside as well as Carmen’s hand.

Leigh: Oh Go-

Carmen: Shhh….

Carmen silences Leigh by reaching up and kissing her
passionately.  Tonight, there are no more words for Carmen that
are necessary.  Just the physical satisfaction that comes with
moments like these.  These are moments are not shared by all at
this time, however.

Shane sits alone in bed.  The lights are out in her room and in
spite of being tired, Shane can’t bring herself to sleep.  She
knows she’s made a mistake and this time there may be no turning it
around.  Her friends are all in their beds, contempt to sleep the
rest of the early morning hours away.  Shane gets out of bed and
out of her room, walking down the hallway and into the kitchen. 
She can hear Max snoring away on the couch in the living room, but is
too depressed to care.

In Leigh’s bedroom, Carmen’s body is mounted on top of Leigh’s face as
Leigh licks away at her surroundings and runs her fingers down Carmen’s
backside.  Carmen feels a sense of satisfaction as she reaches her
own climax and with a tear in her eye moans deeply, looking up into the
Heavens.  She’s happy to move on.

In the kitchen, Shane feels a sense of sorrow, with a tear in her eye
looking up into the Heavens.  She’s unable to move on.

Helena is in her room and wakes up momentarily.  She’s having her
own sleeping problems.  Putting on her robe, she steps outside for
some air and sees through the window to the kitchen, Shane alone at the
table.  Curious, Helena walks over to the house and enters.

Comfort is something all look to reach at this moment.  Kit and Angus find it in each other’s arms back at Angus’s.  

Alice and Lara have found comfort in each other as each awakens periodically to kiss the other gently.  

Bette and Tina find comfort in cuddling together in bed.

Leigh and Carmen have found comfort for the time being as their sweat
filled bodies lay against each other in bed, tired and satisfied.

Jenny has found comfort in her writing as her laptop is still on her
bed as she sleeps, having passed out more than fallen asleep.

Max finds comfort in being oblivious to the World as he dreams of completing the journey into full manhood.

Helena and Shane embrace in the kitchen as it’s the closest to comfort either can find.


“All I ever wanted…all I ever needed is here in my arms.  Words are very unnecessary.  They can only do harm.”
