"I can’t tell someone who just lost the love of her life that I want
to take his place so to speak… I mean I wouldn’t…you know…" Kendall
sees Simone nod her understanding, "I actually liked Leo. I can’t
tell her and truly ruin what might be left of our working
relationship."

"Okay, now quit making excuses and tell me the real reason you can’t
tell her."

"I….damn it Simone….I can’t let her hurt me like she did again. She
made it out to be cheap and meaningless….maybe that’s all it was to
her. It wasn’t all it was to me and I can’t put myself in a position
for her or anyone else to leave me again." Kendall feels the tears
coming, "I don’t want to cry anymore."

"Sssshhh…Kendall the tears are the body’s way of healing itself.
I’ll never tell just let it out." Simone moves over by Kendall to
offer her a shoulder as she hugs her partner close.

Bianca knocks on the door to Greenlee’s apartment. She holds her
breath as she hears the footsteps coming toward her. She doesn’t
know if it is from the excitement of wanting to tell Greenlee about
her and Maggie, the fear of Leo’s memory in the apartment, or the
anxiousness she feels from Greenlee about her new attraction.

"*****, it’s all of it." She says out loud to the door before it
opens.

"Bianca, thanks for coming." Greenlee stands in the open doorway in
jeans and a t-shirt.

"I’m glad you invited me. I have really good news if you can stand
to hear some?" Bianca sheds her coat and sits on the couch.

"I would love some, Bianca. I could really use it." Greenlee moves
to kitchen finishing up putting the food on the table.

"Maggie heard us talking in the park and she….well…" Bianca blushes
as her voice fails her.

"I saw Bianca. You two were so cute at the park kissing in a sort of
sappy, disgusting way." Greenlee smirks jokingly.

"You saw so I don’t have to go into all the gushy details for you?"
Bianca smiles back.

"I kind of hoped you wouldn’t, but if you must I would listen."
Greenlee motions her toward the table.

Bianca moves to sit beside Greenlee at the table, "You would listen
wouldn’t you?"

"Bianca, I know Leo used to be your outlet and I’m not him. Lord
knows I am not him, but I would listen if you really needed me to
especially after today in the park and you coming over here tonight.
I always knew deep down that everything that Leo said about you was
true and you have more than proven it by coming here tonight when you
could be with Maggie." Greenlee blushes.
