Yael couldn't help the burning shame as she watched Bernadette open the taxi app and hand Yael her phone. Yael hated that she was in this position -- she would do practically anything to avoid it, but she knew she had no other choice. It was too far to walk -- and even if she did want to walk, Yael doubted that Bernadette would let her go. And as bold as Yael was, she was not going to fucking hitchhike; that was as bad as asking Bernadette for money anyway.
"Oh, I'll pay you back," Yael insisted forcefully, before adding, "Thanks for all you're doing, Bernadette. Unless you need to be here, you can head back home to see your dad. I'm sure he needs you there."
Yael obliged when Bernadette asked her to enter her number into the other woman's phone. "You probably don't need the money though," Yael continued. "I can take you out for a meal instead. My treat."
