Three hours later

"Everything okay?" Dakota asked, once again batting at the string that would draw the blinds on her bedroom window.

"Yeah. I got my phone plugged into the charger. How is yours holding up?"

"Fine. Good thing I kept my old phone so my other one can charge." The brunette grinned, hearing an answering chuckle.

"Alright. So, you're serious? The most romantic thing you've ever gotten from a girlfriend for Valentine's Day was a frying pan?" Carrie was incredulous as she slapped at a few bubbles in her bath.

Dakota laughed. "Hey, it's a really nice frying pan. I've got a theory about this," she heard the blonde groan.

"You and your theories."

"I know. I've got one for everything. Anyway, my theory is you know you're really young when you get more excited about the wrapping paper than what's inside, and you know you're getting old when you're excited by socks."

Carrie threw her head back, her laughter echoing through the tiled chamber surrounding the tub. "Oh, that is classic! I love it."

"It's true!"

"Sadly you're right. It is true."

"Okay, you're turn. Most romantic gift."

"Alright, but it wasn't for Valentine's Day, it was for my birthday."

"Okay. Shoot." Dakota stared up at her dark ceiling, wiggling her sock covered toes as she listened.

"I was dating a lawyer for a little while. Mason. Strange man. Anyway, he took me to the Bahamas for three days."

"For your birthday?!" Dakota sprang up from the bed, curling her legs under her. Silence, then a very soft,

"Yes."

The brunette whistled through her teeth. "Damn. Certainly makes what I've done look like a Charlie Brown Valentine's Day or birthday."

Carrie smiled, slipping further under the hot, bubble-laden water. "Well, trust me, I spent more of my weekend trying to dodge the marriage bullet than having fun."

"Did he ask?"

"He started to a few times, but I always managed to get him on another subject, or distract him."

"Why wouldn't you marry him?"

"Because we'd been dating for two months!"

"Oh, come on-if you two were lesbians you would have been celebrating your golden anniversary by then." Dakota was charmed to the soles of her feet when she heard Carrie's giggle.

"Are women really like that? I mean, I've heard all the U-Haul jokes and everything." The blonde switched the phone to her other hand.

"Nah, well, some are, yeah. We do definitely bond quicker, and far deeper than men and women, so lesbians avoid a lot of the game playing. If men and women didn't play so many games, they'd hook up just as fast."

"So three years, huh? That's your longest?"

"Yes. You?"

"Not three years." Carrie laughed, splashing at a clump of bubbles and watching them pop.

"So how long?"

"Seven months."

"Hmm," Dakota's brows drew. "I'm thinking maybe you're a gay man in a woman's body." Again Carrie giggled, and the brunette was charmed. She realized that she knew ore about Carrie in a three and a half hour conversation than she had about Theresa after two months of dating. "So tell me what was so wrong with the men you dated, then?
