Lisa and Sue are sitting in the warm, brightly lit kitchen, bowls of Thai noodles and fish steaming on the main table, scenting the air with ginger, coconut and spice.
The scent of ginger winds through the air, mingling with the fresh evening breeze and the sound of voices; warm and bright in the warmly-scented air.
“...And he was horrified. Their lawyer, I mean...” Lisa's voice, animated.
“...well; there's nothing he could do about that, is there?” Sue's voice. Warm and lively.
“No! No, there isn't.” Lisa smiles. “Cheers?”
“Cheers.”
They clink glasses. They are celebrating the court case of Patel and Brinkman; which has ended with a rather spectacular and unexpected turn of both involved parties being prosecuted for their involvement in the murder of Mrs. Patel. The rest of the courtroom was speechless. They were all surprised.
Lisa and Sue, of course, were unsurprised. They are both relieved to know the men will likely get a lengthy sentence – Raju Patel, that is, and Ron Langdon – the senior board member of Brinkman Cars directly implicated in the case.
Lisa and Sue smile at each other; drink champagne. The pale liquid glows against the background of the sunlit air; adding to the warmth of the room.
“So, Ms Montmorency?” Lisa smiles, eyebrows raised.
“So, Ms Marsden.” Sue grins, her voice warm; rolling with mischief, humor and excitement.
“Mmm.” Lisa smiles at her. They kiss.
Lisa's arms are around Sue's shoulders. Sue's arms wrap around Lisa's chest.
After a long while, they lean back out of the embrace; stand and go upstairs.
The room is a tapestry of orange, cream and pools of shadow as the light changes outside and Sue and Lisa undress. Their bodies slide over each other on the bed; Lisa over Sue, limbs wrapped round each other as they writhe together in a sheer ecstasy of closeness. They are blind to everything but the softness of skin in the dusk light; the gentle curve of a hip or shoulder; the warmth in each other's eyes.
Their hands caress each other; gently and then with more direction. Their lips find each other, and cling and part and pause and meet again. Lisa slides her fingers slowly between Sue's thighs, and they move together, lost in the aching, sweet rhythm of unbounded joy and love.
Hours later, when they are lying in each other's arms; Lisa's hand on Sue's stomach; Sue's resting on her hip and the fingers of the other hand wound in her hair; they talk, drowsily.
“Ms Montmorency?”
“Yes?” Sue's voice is warm; glowing.
“Ms Montmorency; would you consider changing to Ms Montmorency-Marsden?”
“What?” Sue's voice rises an octave; joy and surprise mixed. “Lisa?”
“Well?” Lisa's voice is warm; teasing. “I am a lawyer, you know, Ms Montmorency.” She adds. “I need things to be legal.”
They laugh. They embrace. When they roll away, both of their cheeks are traced with tears, wet; slivered tracks that shine. They are both laughing.
“Besides,” Lisa is continuing. “I rather think I love you.”
“Oh, Lisa!” Sue's voice cracks. She half sits; looks into Lisa's eyes. “I love you.”
Outside, the day cools to evening and the night falls, softly. The land settles to sleep and the stars rise; their slow setting marking hours unremarked-on by the lovers down below, lost in each other's gaze.

...she had nothing to fear, nothing to hide anymore."
