“G-greenlee?  You kissed Greenlee Dupree?!  You…” Bianca stammers.

“I…I…yes…”  Kendall whispers.

“My God.  You’re telling me that you are in love with Leo’s widow…” Bianca puts her hand to her mouth.

“I’m sorry Bianca.  I didn’t mean to…I’m sorry.”  Kendall tries to apologize.

“Sssshhh…don’t. I’m not mad.  I’m shocked, but I’m not mad.  After everything you’ve done and told me about how you feel for this person, for Greenlee.  How could I not believe you love her? She kissed you back then?”

“Um…yeah.  It was wonderful until…reality hit again.  She told me to t-take the week off and she would see me after New Year’s.  I don’t think I can go back to work.”  Kendall wipes her cheeks.

“Now, I know why you haven’t come out of your room then.  You were afraid that you would run into her.  I’m sorry it happened that way, but she did kiss you back.  She could just be…frightened maybe.  She is somewhat homophobic.”

“That’s just it Bink.  She isn’t.  She was just jealous of you.  Believe it or not she admires you.  I don’t know what to do Bink.”

“Well, first we feed you, then we shower you cause no offense your getting ripe.”  Bianca smiles, “We’ll work something out.  You just can’t hide yourself away though.  Whatever happens you have to keep living that’s what you’ve been telling Greenlee right?”

“Yeah, you know Bink. I think I’m….no I’m glad I have you.”  Kendall squeezes her sister’s hand, “I see Maggie got you those earrings.”

“How did you?  You’re the little bird.  I should’ve guessed it is the matching set.  The necklace was very thoughtful Kendall thank you.  Now, come on let’s eat and try to get you back to your glamorous self.  We’ll really think of something Kendall I promise.”

Kendall nods not quite believing her sister, but wanting to and grateful that she is willing to be there for her at all.  She for the first time in many days feels like maybe she could eat something.  She also realizes that she definitely needs a shower.  She would just have to find a way to at least keep Greenlee’s friendship.  She takes a bite of her food and smiles at Bianca sadly as Bianca watches her.
