“Beebo,” Paula said, whispering so that Beebo had to bend her
head to hear her. “I’d like you to stay. Make yourself welcome.
Please.”
Beebo was afraid to believe her ears. It seemed incredible that
this exquisite stranger should reach out for her from the middle
of nowhere. “Paula,” she said, “I think we’re both just lonely. I
think it would be best if I go. You don’t want to wake up
tomorrow and hate yourself.” She was still hedging about the
ultimate test with a girl.
“I was lonely. I will be again if you go.”
“Maybe you’d be better off lonely than sorry.”
“Beebo, do I have to beg you?” Paula pleaded, her voice coming up
stronger with emotion.
