"It was nothing. I can't believe we're even talking about it, for God's sake.
"That's what I'm trying to say, that it wasn't nothing, that I--"
"Honestly," Vivian says, "I'm surprised at you, I thought you were an uber liberal, anyway, despite your uptight"--she waves her hand in Diane's general direction--"demeanor."
Diane shakes her head. "You're not getting it. Never mind, I don't know what I was trying to say," she says, getting up and heading for the door. "You're right, it was nothing. See you around."
Vivian catches up with her and grabs her wrist, and the touch and sudden proximity stop her in her tracks. "If I'm not getting it, explain it to me."
The words fail her.
"Or don't," Vivian says, sounding tired. She drops her hand.
Diane's heart is hammering in her chest--her doctor wouldn't approve--when she leans forward, just enough, and kisses Vivian.
It's pretty chaste and closed-mouthed, like playing spin the bottle with a boy you don't like, but she hasn't kissed a girl since her last slumber party.
Vivian doesn't kiss her back. She doesn't pull away, either.
"How's that for an explanation?" Diane laughs. "Pretty weird, right? Anyway, good night."
"Oh, no," Vivian says. "You don't get to run off and stop taking my calls again."
"I don't?"
Vivian closes the remaining distance between them and presses her lips against Diane's, kissing her properly this time. Electric, she thinks. "If you came here to break up with me, you're doing a terrible job."
"Oh, well," Diane says. "I guess it can wait."
