“Tell me again” for Cam and Becca :)
7. "Tell me again.”
Before the tape recorder -- her most persistent companion ever since she'd moved to New York -- there was Cam.
They would lie on the floor in Rebecca's room, Rebecca's head on Cam's stomach, Cam's arm on her chest, and Rebecca would drawl out whatever fragments were in her head, trying to make something worthy of attention out of them. Cam would hum, draw lazy circles on her chest bone, say "tell me again" when she would find something that Rebecca had said to be beautiful.
"Victoria's night air feels like water when we sneak out into it, cool and soothing and unpredictable," Rebecca would say.
"Tell me again."
"After 11, we try to drive in his car all the way to the moon, but the moon is persistently unattainable, so we keep driving," Rebecca would say.
"Tell me again."
"There's a girl in Victoria whose smile makes me shake with wanting," Rebecca would say.
"Tell me again."
"There's a girl in Victoria whose hands are as solid and as gentle as her her heart," Rebecca would say.
"Tell me again."
"I'm in love with a girl in Victoria whose eyes are as deep as an endless drive towards the moon," Rebecca said when they were 19, and Cam had kissed her.
"Tell me again."
"I'm in love with a girl in Victoria."
"Tell me again."
"I'm in love with a girl -- "
"Tell me again."
"I'm in love -- "
And there was no more talking.
Then there was the tape recorder, and too much talking.
And now there is Cam again, in her room, and Rebecca wants to tell her again.
But there are too many years of silence between them, and too much shit to say, and there is no longer a girl in Victoria to be in love with, just a woman she's missed like an endless drive towards the moon.
