Tina: “fine, thanks”

After taking a shower, Tina wears Bette’s pj and goes to bed waiting for the older girl who is now in the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, Bette enters the room turning off the lights and seats on the sides of the bed looking at Tina who is as sad as she is, moving the sheet and comforter, she leans beside Tina, they hug each other and Tina starts sobbing.

Bette: “it’s okay T everything is going to be fine…, I know is not that much but I’m here for you”

Tina: (hugging tight) “you mean a lot to me Bette…, I’m also here for you”

Both girls cuddle each other, no one asks anything, at the end of the day is just the two of them.

New Pasadena, 10:30 p.m. the same day. Leaving building H-027.

Sharon: “Phyllis, when do you think it will be possible to talk to Louise?”

Phyllis: “honestly, I don’t know but let’s go to Arroyo Park a military transporter is waiting outside my building, maybe we’ll get lucky and we could talk to Louise.”

Sharon: “I’ll be awake until I could talk to her”

Phyllis: “take it easy, she will be fine… by the way, what do you think about Bette and Tina?”

Sharon: “they freak-out, which is understandable”

Phyllis: “I know, but I mean…, they know nothing of each other, I’m talking about their relationship with Louise”

Sharon: “no, they don’t…, it was Louise’s slip, but as you saw there, without knowing they are very close”

Phyllis: “I will say, more than close”

Sharon: (smiling) “yes, I told Louise yesterday noon, ‘it runs in the family’, you… did you know Kristen, Maxine, and Louise history?”

Phyllis: “If I knew, ha…, I was there in Berkeley, I was graduate student and also their TA, and Louise wasn’t even a lesbian, she was very shy many boys and girls after her, Maxine took her under her wing when she was almost assaulted by three boys, I thought they were in love, but later there was Kristen and when they came here they married”

Sharon: “I’ll tell you something in confidence…, Louise never stop being in love with Maxine, as Kristen was”

Phyllis: “but she married Kristen”
