Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Chapter: The (Fe)Male Gaze or Recasting the Primal Scene, Redux; Part 5: The Cant of the Key of Blue)
Abby turned in the sheltering heat of their embrace; mouth blindly seeking and finding Kim’s, opening once more to the melting tenderness of this woman, her kiss. Finding it strangely apropos that it should end this way, with a kiss that shouldn’t have ever been– yet existed in spite. "I’m not," she answered quietly before losing the thread of the conversation once more in the delicate texture of Kim’s mouth and tongue. Moments passed, tiny microcosmic universes of what might have been were born and died, leaving supernova trails of desire along their bodies. "I want to make love to you," Abby found herself muttering, tracing the breadth and strength of the bare arms around her.
"I want you to," was the muffled reply. "But if we do, we’re going to end up right back where we started." Kim groaned quietly and pulled Abby’s gaze up to meet hers. "And I don’t know if I’d have the strength to do this again."
"This is supposed to discourage me?" Her hands were bolder now, reading the rising desire emanating from her lover’s skin.
"Don’t…" Kim whispered, capturing Abby’s hands in hers and drawing them to her lips where she graced them with a gentle kiss. "Please." A plea in the single word.
"Tell me why I shouldn’t fight for you."
"Because I’m asking you not to."
"That’s not…"
"Abby, if the axis of my world were tilted ten degrees differently…" Her eyes dropped as she examined the twine of their fingers, a natural occurrence now, one that they would have to both unlearn. She released Abby’s hands and brought her gaze back to the nurse’s. "But I have to follow this through."
"With Kerry."
"Yes. With Kerry. See if…" She shrugged. "Just to see."
"What if it doesn’t work out?"
A rueful smile painted Kim’s lips. "Then I will have lost two extraordinary women through no one’s fault and foolishness other than my own. But I won’t regret having loved either one of them."
"And if I waited?"
"Don’t."
"It’s not your…"
"You have your own life to live, Abby," Kim interrupted. "And two wonderful men you care very much about."

My heart is in my throat…tears are running down my cheeks. This was incredible. Oh my God, my heart literally hurts! Wow!! Bravo…you really got this right. Funny, I knew it had to end this way, but I am still aching over what Abby is feeling. She may not be sorry, but that doesn’t make the pain any less. Thank you for writing this incredible story. It is one I will go back and read again.

Thank you so much for this story….I love how you write and you capture the complexities of connection and love and need and desire and so many other things in such a unique way.I too knew it had to end this way but the heartache I felt was unbearable, perhaps because it feels like you truly captured Abbys character……I am thinking of that quote, people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and the hope was for these two that maybe it could be a lifetime when in fact it was for a reason. What wonderful hearts you gave them.

Wow!!! That story was powerful, wonderous and painful all at the same time. You did an excellent job of convey all the mixed emotions that all these characters had… and the pain of unrequited love from some many perspectives.. but all with the same result. Don’t let this be the end of your writings. Keep more coming. Thanks.
