Betty was right, that Kate liked the spot she’d picked.  It was perfect.  Once they’d finished eating, and making idle conversation, Kate leaned back onto the grass, staring up at the sky through the branches of the tree they’d sat next to.

“This is beautiful, Betty.  How did you find it?”

Betty, herself, was lying half on, half off the blanket they’ ( Read more... )

In the weeks following Kate’s realization, she found it more and more difficult to keep it to herself, particularly when she was around Betty.  Betty had noticed Kate’s increased nervousness around her, and at first, she thought it was because Kate felt uncomfortable again, that maybe Kate had seen her throw a glance her way that was too easily ( Read more... )

Chapter 7

Gladys’ face as Kate walked into the bar with Betty was priceless.  She clearly hadn’t been expecting the girl to show up.  She had also clearly had several drinks, Betty thought, and she came careening toward them, and threw her arms around Kate.

“Kate! I’m so glad you’re here! Here, come over-we have a table in the back.  Hey Betts.”

“Oh, ( Read more... )

 Chapter five

True to her word, Kate Andrews arrived back in Toronto two weeks after sending the letter.  Gladys came home from work to find her sitting on the floor outside her apartment door, eating an apple, and looking like all kinds of sunshine and sincerity.

“Kate Andrews, before my very eyes,” Gladys said with a smile.

“Gladys!”  Kate’s ( Read more... )

Chapter Four

Spring in Toronto had begun in earnest, with the warmer weather finally settling in.  Gladys had continued to spend time with Betty, though not to the extent that she had in December, as she no longer worried about Betty digging a hole in the ground and crawling into it (though she was certainly much better company now!).  So today, she ( Read more... )

Chapter Three

After that first night at the bar, Vera, Gladys, and Betty went back each weekend, and some week nights in between.  Pretty soon, it was Betty initiating the invitations as much as either of the other two girls.  Vera still had to do some convincing to get them to go to the Pavilion, but her enthusiasm was catchy.  She had also met a ( Read more... )

Chapter Two

“Hey, any of you ladies want to go see Leon’s band play tonight?” Gladys asked, glancing around the lunch table.  She immediately lost the eye contact of Carol, who wouldn’t be allowed to leave her house if she was headed anywhere with Gladys, never mind that particular destination, and also Betty, who suddenly became very interested ( Read more... )
