She knelt at the toilet and began to vomit intensely, tears spilling from her eyes as she felt Tina‘s arms wrapping around her waist. The guilt spilled out of her,
“Oh Tina, I’m so sorry. Yes, more than once… Yes.. I’m so very sorry. “ Tina wiped her mouth with a cloth as Bette fell back and looked up at the woman whom she loved dearly, and had wounded beyond words.
“I know you are, or I wouldn’t be here.” Bette knew that Tina knew just how deep her betrayal of their relationship had been. “I already knew…” Tina admitted, taking Bette‘s face into her hands and making her look at her again.
“Candace told me everything the day after I left. I tracked her down, and made her tell me. She took all of the blame, but she didn’t know that I was just as much to blame in all of this as you were and as she was. I just needed you to be honest with me, you were. We can work with that.”

Sam stood in the well lit kitchen, snapping pictures of Lara Perkins, a gorgeous red head that seemed to have a light hidden behind her hazel eyes. Sam found herself mesmerized by her, and then falling back into her professional mode. She tugged at her hat, turning it around so that the bill was facing backwards.
Sam was still enthralled by Tina Kennard, she was *****, in all the ways she liked. She had brains, she had looks and she was so out of her league. Yet Tina‘d given Sam her home phone number an address, she might have to take her up on that.
“Relax Lara; I’m just taking your picture…” Sam said softly, as Lara played endlessly with her apron. Sam‘s voice was cajoling, almost seducing.
“And most of the lesbians in America are going to see those said pictures!” She said breathlessly, the confidence she usually wielded, was no where to be seen. Sam chuckled, understanding just what she was talking about.
“That is why some of us, stay behind the camera.” Wiggling her eyebrows and taking most of the roll of film as Lara burst out into a fit of giggles.

Is it just me, or have I read some of these before? They seem vaguely familiar…. hmmmmmmmmmm??????
Thought Bette would lie this time around. Since everything seems to be going almost the same, does the ‘what if’ belong to a specific person? Sam or Tina perhaps? They are the only two who’s life seems to be altered a bit.
I don’t know J, it seems that you are going for a Tina/Sam relationship..hmph, I liked Shane/Sam. But I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and read on.
