“Baby!” Alice shouted through the hallway of their home hoping to find Tasha. She haphazardly threw her purse and keys down on the table by the door and continued yelling through the hallway. “Tash? Baby, you home?” Tasha finally stepped through at the end of the hallway still holding her bowl of cereal looking at her wife with confusion. Alice practically ran towards her, the thundering sound of her heels almost deafened by her excited squeal almost spilling her milk without giving it a second thought. “I got good news!” she screamed.

“You closed on the property!?” Tasha guessed as she put down the bowl and finally took a seat next to Alice.

“Well we won’t know that for a few days but I’m sure it’s in the bag. That’s not the good news.” Alice tapped her hands three times excitedly and looked at Tasha’s still confused face. “Tina’s got a crush on her doctor!”

Tasha dropped her head forward trying so hard to stifle the laugh that somehow burst through all of her effort. “Babe, Tina’s doctor is a woman.” Alice merely raised her brow in defiance. “A gay woman but a woman nonetheless.” Tasha said dismissing Alice’s excitement as she stood up and took her bowl back into the kitchen.

“I know what I saw.”

And for the briefest of  seconds Tasha froze mid-step before she stepped out on logic first and asked, “What did you see?”

“Tina is so vibing on her doctor.”

“Vibing? That’s not even a word.”

“That’s not the point. The point is that Tina has a little crush. It’s so small I don’t even think she realizes it yet.”

“So she didn’t tell you that she has a crush on her doctor, you’re just making this… assumption based on what?”

“I know for a fact that Tina has a crush on her doctor, I’ve seen that look before. In college Tina had a film appreciation class with this…” Alice looked up almost dreamily in a daze “unbelievably gorgeous professor. I mean this woman was a combination of perfection.  She swam everyday and her hair was like billowed silk when she came to class fresh from a swim, it was insane.”
