* * *

Rain was thrilled to see Bett’s car parked outside. She rushed into the house only to hear water running in the shower. She called hello before changing into her jeans and making a fire. After what seemed like a long time Bett came into the den, her hair still damp, and sat next to Rain on the couch.

“Will you hold me for a minute?” she asked quietly.

“I will hold you forever,” Rain replied.

They lay back against the arm of the couch, Bett on Rain’s side, gripping the front of Rain’s shirt in her hand. Rain drew the blanket over them that they kept out for such a purpose. Bett wasn’t moving, but she wasn’t relaxed. Finally she asked, “How was Jo?”

Rain told her about their talk and breakfast in the mess hall.

Bett nodded. She closed her eyes tightly for a moment and felt a tear squeeze out of one eye. She thought Rain might not have noticed, until she felt a soft vibration in Rain’s chest. As far as Bett knew, Rain only hummed the song from her childhood when she was upset, either personally or for someone she was with. The strange melody gave Bett a kind of peace, helping her to distance the image of Miriam Boudreaux’s cruel face and the vicious grasp of her hand. Finally, Bett relaxed her hold on Rain’s shirt and sighed. “We may be in trouble.” She just managed to tell Rain all about it before falling sound asleep in the safety of her lover’s arms.
