Later that evening at Vicky’s house, Aidan grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom to change, leaving Vicky to change in the bedroom. It wasn’t because she was ashamed or scared. She just needed a moment alone, to give herself a stern talking to. She needed to calm her anger at her father, because that would not help Vicky. And she desperately wanted to make sure, that Vicky knew how much she was loved. That nothing had changed between them. In fact, thanks to the session today, she felt free of her own baggage, for the first time since her memory of Vicky came back. She felt strong and confident, that she would be able to protect Vicky again. That was the most important thing to Aidan, to protect her best friend and lover.

She went into the kitchen, grabbed a beer out of the refrigerator, and took a big swig, before she poured Vicky a glass of wine. Carrying the drinks into the living room, she positioned herself on the far side of the couch, and with a little uncertainty, placed herself so she would be facing Vicky.

As Vicky changed clothes in her bedroom, she thought how much better she felt now. After years of carrying around the pain and anxiety the rape had caused, she was able to share that pain with Aidan, the one thing she had feared most in life. Finally, her questions were answered. She was still loved, still wanted. And now, after all these years, she could let go of that nightmare, and truly give herself completely, to the woman she loved. Looking at herself in the dresser mirror, she still felt nervous, as if she were meeting her date for the first time. She came in from the bedroom, and picked up the glass of wine. “Thank you.” Taking a sip, she sat at the opposite end of the couch.

“So uh…, are you okay?” This feels so surreal.

Vicky nodded her head.

They sat quiet for a long while, sipping on their drinks, stealing glances at one another. Then Vicky broke the silence. “Remember when we built the treehouse?”

“I remember that you couldn’t climb up the ladder, that first time. I had to push your butt up the tree.” She laughed timidly at the precious memory.

“Yeah, and then I couldn’t get back down. I was stuck up there for hours.” Aidan gave her a disbelieving look, “Well, it sure seemed like hours.”

“I remember you wanted to hang curtains in the window, but the damn things kept falling off, because the window was so crooked.”

Wiping away their tears with laughter, Aidan and Vicky, spent hours talking about the good memories, the good times they’d had as children. They were very careful to avoid anything that might take them away from that. As they talked, they unconsciously moved closer to each other. At last, they fell silently into each other’s arms, still riding the euphoria of sweet memories.

Vicky ran her finger up and down Aidan’s forearm, “Do
