“Cuz you are.”  Jayden piped in coming in from outside.  Jayden was on barbecue duty, grilling chicken
for those who didn’t want spaghetti and Lara
was making a salad.

            “Sacre
Bleu.” 
Muttered Sam wiping her hand on her shirt
hearing Tina laughing outside like a loon
possessed.  Bette
was recounting tales of their relationship. 
Leaving out the bad parts and leaving in the good times.

            “How is her
memory?”  Lara
asked grabbing a tomato and a different knife and slowly slicing it Jayden
watched with a soft smile.  Lara‘s
deft hands meticulously sliced the tomato into various pieces and then slid
them into the bowl.

            “Getting there Bette
said that she kissed her the other day. 
It’s like Bette courting her all over
again.  Really sweet but its slow
going.  Tina
still has it in her head somewhere that she’s straight.  It must have taken her a while the first time
around to admit she was in love with Bette.”  Sam admitted
having sat down and talked to Tina a few

            “You want something to

scoffed.

            “I gleamed that much
from her.  She’s confused hanging out
with the lesbians is messing with her mind.” 
Sam rolled her grey eyes
and took off her hat, hitting Lara behind the
head with it and replacing it on her own.

            “You are such a dumb
*****.  She’s falling for you.  I’ve seen it before…”  Sam
said with a lofty voice.  Eyes looking at
the ceiling and chuckling softly.

            “Oh yeah?  In the mirror?”  Lara
said in a goofy voice; eluding to she and Shane.

            “With her
sister.”  SamShane.  Leaving Lara
with that food for thought and a blank look on Lara‘s
face.
