“That’s not nothing, I mean even a five year-old would notice that something has happened, so please by all means just… elaborate for once” Dana tried one more time, convinced that something had indeed perspired between her friend and the lawyer.

“She knows now” Bette shyly admitted as she realized that this time she wouldn’t get away with it, besides Dana could be quite relentless at times.

“So she knows you’re into her, and did something happen?”

“How do you even know I’m into her?” Bette asked rather annoyed for she understood that apparently she had lost the capacity to be unreadable.

“Ahhh cause it’s quite obvious? Anyway, answer the question” Dana replied trying to conceal how ecstatic about her friend finally falling for someone she really was.

“We kissed and then talked a bit… and then kissed some more… ahhhh I don’t know what am I gonna do…” Bette replied as she rubbed her eyes with only one hand.

“But Bette that’s… that’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you, it was about damn time if you ask me” Dana finally released all that excitement she was holding.

“How is this wonderful? I mean, it was wonderful but… it’s the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever done, not to mention reckless”

“Ok, granted… it may be a bit out of protocol but have you seen yourself when you’re around her?

“How am I going to be objective from now on?” Bette asked truly concerned and Dana’s smile grew bigger. “What… what is so goddamn funny?”

“That for the first time ever you’re not worried about getting intimate and acquainted with another human being, you’re just worried you’re not gonna do your job properly…”

“That’s the most stu” Bette started speaking but got quickly interrupted.

“Ahhp shh shh shh… shut up and listen to me this time. My point is that you’re not concerned about getting involved with a person; you’re not worried about the fact that you have to spend 24 hours with her 7 days a week, for god knows how many more months. No. Your only fear is how you are going to perform regarding our mission and that my friend… I’ve never seen before, it’s always been the other way around…”
