“I think I have some heavy explaining to do.  I guess here we go then.”  Bianca once again puts her arm out to a woman that night.

Greenlee takes it smiling nervously, “Yes, here we go.”

“Kendall, I found a someone who was just straining at the bit to talk to you.”  Bianca taps Kendall’s shoulder.

“Who?” Kendall turns around seeing Greenlee and blushes, “I…oh…” she takes off in a hurry out to the patio.

“*****.”  Bianca swears.

“I’ll go.  I think I need to do this.”  Greenlee offers.

“Probably.  Good luck.”  Bianca and Maggie both offer.

“Thank you, both.  Bianca, Good luck, too.”  Greenlee takes off after Kendall.

“What do you need luck for?”  Maggie asks quietly.

“I think we need to talk.  Do you mind if we find a quiet room?”  Bianca offers her hand.

“No. That’s fine.” Maggie feels her heart beat rapidly. ‘She’s going to tell me she’s in love.  Damn it.’

Kendall sits on the deserted patio shivering and crying.  She doesn’t hear Greenlee come up to her.  Greenlee stands looking at the woman she has fallen in love with.  She doesn’t know if she can give her everything she deserves, but she sure as ***** wants to try.  She cautiously moves toward Kendall.

“Kendall, please don’t cry.”  She pleads as she sits down on the bench.

“I’m…I’m sorry, Greenlee.  You know that right.  Please tell me you know that.”  Kendall sobs out.

“What are you sorry for?”  Greenlee asks.

“I…I…kissed you…took advantage of your friendship…forced…”

“Whoa…you didn’t force me into anything.  Don’t you even think that for a second.”  Greenlee interrupts her.

“but…I…you….”  Kendall stutters.

“I kissed you back.  You didn’t make me do that.  I’m just sorry I freaked out on you.  I should have handled it better.”  Greenlee realizes how cold it is as she shakes.

“I shouldn’t have done it.  I just…I couldn’t hide my feelings anymore.  I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry you have feelings?”  Greenlee sighs.

“N-no…I’m sorry…that I couldn’t keep them quiet.  I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“You didn’t hurt me.  I think I hurt you more.  I didn’t know what to think and I don’t mean about you.  I mean I didn’t know what to think about me.  I kissed you back and it frightened me.  I thought I had betrayed Leo somehow.”
