"What? No, that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that things have been really sucky lately. We hardly get to see you, Tina only comes in to drop off Angie and I’d never thought I’d hear myself say this but I really miss Jan"

Truth was Bette had found herself missing her friend too, knowing that it was partially her fault that she hadn’t seen much of Janice as of late. The blonde had tried a handful of times to make amends in the last month but Bette had been much too upset over what happened with Tina to care. Eventually Janice had given up and even started working from home, only going into the gallery for important meetings.

"Like seriously" Alice rambled on, "I think this whole thing has been dragging on longer than it was supposed to"

"Alice" Dana warned as she held a sleeping Nathan close to her chest, lovingly rubbing her son’s back.

"Dana! You have to agree with me on this. I mean, come on we’re lesbians! It should be easy to just kiss and make up. Okay, maybe kiss is the wrong word but-"

"Alice!" Dana whispered, trying to keep her wife in check for an unknown reason. She knew that Alice would continue on regardless.

Bette rolled her eyes and sighed, "It’s complicated Al"

"Well then can someone un-complicate it because really, this whole broken group thing we have going on here is really starting to get to me. It’s beyond frustrating and it . ." Alice crossed her arms and slumped in her seat, "Just really freaking sucks"

Shane and Carmen had been feeling the same more or less but neither said a word about it. They just observed from the sidelines as usual, not wanting to add to Bette’s obvious suffering.

Carmen was the one who spotted Tina and Angie first and in her excitement, delivered a few nasty elbow nudges to Shane’s ribcage. The young brunette nearly jerked out of her seat, rubbing the sore spot as she glared disapprovingly at her girlfriend. It was then that the Latina gestured her head in Tina’s direction.
