[Kenny Rogers]

Baby when i met you, there was peace on earth

I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb

I was soft inside, there was something going on

        Bette glances at Tina. Tina’s lips move as she sings along softly. Bette smiles as Tina taps her fingers against the steering wheel. Bette turned to watch the scenery no longer able to think clear.  

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

You do something to me, that i can’t explain

Hold me closer, and i feel no pain

Every beat of my heart, we got something goin’ on

        At that last line Tina turns to look at Bette, ‘how true that is. I wish I could explain it. Why does being close to her unnerve me so?’

[Kenny Rogers]

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

Honest love, we feel, needs no conversation 

And we ride it together, uh huh, 

Making love with each other uh huh

        ‘Oh, no.’ Bette thought as she watched out the window. Bette mind wandered from the country scenery to the more luscious scenery of the woman next to her. Bette closes her eyes and breathed deeply in the scent that she was quickly becoming accustom to. 

Islands in the stream, that is what we are.

No one in between, how can we be wrong.

Sail away with me, to another world

and we rely on each other, uh huh

from one lover to another, uh huh

[Dolly Parton]

I can’t live without you if the love was gone

Everything is nothin if you’ve got no one,

and you just walk in the night

slowly losing sight of the real thing.

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

But that won’t happen to us, and we got no doubt

Too deep in love, and we got no way out

and the message is clear, this could be the year for the real

thing

        Bette turned from the window to Tina. She caught Tina looking at her. They held eyes contact, as unspoken desire coursed through them. Tina’s eyes returned to the road. Her checks once again pink, ‘I can’t blush each time we look at each other. One of us has got to say something.’ Yet she remained mute.
