“Come on in,” Tamsyn said as she opened the door.

Carmen gave her a smile, stepped into the house, and they shared a quick hug.

Gizmo ran up to greet her, his tongue lolling.

Then Maggie appeared and gave her a longer hug.

Carmen’s emotions threatened to spill over once more. What is it about being in this house with these three that keeps doing this to me?

“So, tell me quickly what you’d like to drink, and then we can get to the juicy stuff.” Tamsyn waggled her eyebrows.

“Have some sensitivity, won’t you?” Maggie slugged her in the arm. “Give the woman a minute to breathe.”

Tamsyn stuck out her tongue at her fiancée, then turned back to Carmen. “So, are you ready yet?”

Carmen laughed. “Get me a gin, and then you can hear it all.”

“You’re too soft on her,” Maggie said, but she smiled.

“Probably. But I can’t afford to lose my top client, so…” Carmen shrugged, and Maggie laughed.

They sat in the living room, on the huge sectional sofa, with Gizmo stretched out on the floor in front of them.

Tamsyn curled her legs up under her and turned to face Carmen. “So, how was last night? You were seeing her again, weren’t you?”

Carmen nodded. “We went to a wine bar.” She told them everything about the evening up to the highly charged moment over the laptop. At this point she faltered, her cheeks burning.

“What? Why are you bright red all of a sudden?” Tamsyn kept her tone soft.

Carmen rubbed at her face. Damn her pale complexion. “Um, well, then…” She sighed. Why was this so hard to say out loud? Come on. They’re both lesbians. It’s not like they don’t know what it’s like to feel this way . “Okay, here goes.” She breathed in. “We had to lean in quite near to each other to be able to look at the screen. And, well, our heads got quite close, and I could smell whatever perfume or cologne she wears, and her eyes were intensely focused on me, and all sorts of ludicrous things started happening to me, and… My God, I wanted to kiss her so badly.”

“Oh, wow,” Maggie whispered. “I’ve got goose bumps!”

“Me too.” Tamsyn stared at Carmen. “Did you?”

Carmen shook her head. “No. I chickened out. Besides, I have no idea if she feels anything for me. I think ambushing a woman with a kiss in the middle of a wine bar wouldn’t have been the best idea.”

Tamsyn snorted.

“But, do you think she wanted you to? Or that she wanted to kiss you?” Maggie asked.

“I…I have no idea. I mean, she was looking as intently at me as I was at her, but why would she think I’d want to kiss her? She thinks I’m straight.” Carmen hung her head in her hands. This was just impossible.

“So what happens now?” Tamsyn’s tone was gentle, all hints of her earlier teasing now departed.

“I have no idea.” Carmen slumped back in her chair. “There was a moment, right at the end of the evening.
