Reconciliation

- "no"

- "no? really?"

- "yes really"

- "but I, you, you just said that... Aaah, I don't understand anything anymore!"

-"I don't want you to ask me because I told you, I want you to want to."

- "but Carina, I want to, I've wanted to since I first met your eyes in this class seven years ago and I wanted to when I met those same eyes again on September 25."

-"Yes, and both times I had to tell you what to do and now you're asking me because I told you, otherwise you wouldn't have asked."

- "just because I'm walking on eggshells with you, I've hurt you, I've broken your heart, I've broken that trust you had in me, and I don't know how to act. I never know if I'm going to hurt you or go faster than you'd like or bear. But if there's one thing in this world that I want more than anything is to be with you."

Carina caressed Maya's cheek and ran her thumb over her lips.

- "Now that you know I'm ready, surprise me. Surprise me and I'll be yours"

Carina rose from her seat and placed her lips on Maya's. Just a kiss, simple.

- "I think I'll sleep at home tonight"

- "Why? We've had bigger fights than this" Carina was sad

- "because I want the next time we sleep together I can say you're my girlfriend"

- "but are you still staying?"

- "yes, unless you want me to leave?"

- "no"

Carina took Maya by the hand and led her to her room. She made her lie down on the bed and laid three quarters of the way down on top of her with her head in her neck.

- "take me in your arms, as if it were the last thing you did on earth"

She put her arms around her waist and squeezed. Carina had one arm under Maya's elbow and the other arm with her hand resting on her breastbone.

They fell asleep in this position.
They were awakened by Maya's phone an hour and a half later.

Ripley: Hi Maya, I have a favor to ask you, can you cover for me tomorrow until 7pm?

Bishop: only until 7 pm?

Ripley: yep I would do the night.

Bishop: no worries, I owe you that much.

Ripley: Thank you! See you tomorrow at 7 pm then.

Bishop: see ya'

- "so... Tomorrow we won't see each other..."

- "in the evening maybe?"

- "you'll let me know. Are you staying for lunch?"

- "si"

- "should we order a pizza?"

- "I'm fine with it"

While waiting for the delivery man they were sitting on the meridian, Carina between Maya's legs.
Their fingers intertwined around the waist of the Italian.

She placed a kiss on Maya's hand that she had brought against her mouth.
- "I love you bambina." She looked sad.

- "hey you ok?" she asked worriedly.

- "I don't like to be bothered"

- "me neither, Amo-Carina"

Carina untied one of her hands from Maya's and put her arm over both of their heads to run her hand through Maya's hair and stroke the back of her neck.
They stayed in silence for a while like that, before Carina ended the silence.
