MOMA headquarters 8am:

Bette sat at her desk and took in the view of the city from her office.  She sipped her cappuccino and played with her half eaten croissant.  For the better part of an hour Bette sat looking over the information from Thomas’ crate.  Everything seemed to be in order and Bette wrote down a dozen ideas she wanted to present to the Disney team in terms of a possible story line for Faun’s work.  Bette gazed out at the sea of buildings and realized that her ideas would be the focus of the scriptwriting staff and this meant that she would be working closely with Tina.  Bette’s body was slanted halfway between her office door and her windows.  She put her croissant down and lost herself in thought.  She didn’t notice the body standing at her door staring at her own view of absolute beauty.  Tina stood watching for some time, not trying to interrupt Bette.  At this moment, Bette looked so innocent and classically stunning, it took Tina’s breath away and raised the butterflies she tried to bury the night before.

Tina cleared her throat after a few more quick glances: Eh hem, Good morning Bette.  I can’t believe you’re here so soon, I thought I’d be the first one to come in, but I guess you like to get an early start when you feel passionately about something.

Bette turned around and stared at Tina smiling back at her.  She didn’t know what to say.  Bette didn’t expect anyone to be in the office for at least another hour.  She didn’t prepare for seeing Tina and was a little beside herself looking at Tina’s gorgeous face and hearing her sweet voice.  After some moments Bette realized she hadn’t said anything back and struggled to get out the words:

Bette: Good morning Ms. Kennard.. ergg, I mean, Tina. Good morning Tina. What are you doing here so early?

Tina: The same as you I guess, getting an early start.

Tina came in and closed the door behind her.  Bette felt a warm electricity race through her body.  The muscles in her neck tensed as she saw Tina taking a seat on her plush tweed sofa.  Tina’s auburn skirt suit fit her beautifully and showed off her strong toned legs.  Bette tried her best to keep from staring, but Tina’s presence seemed to put her in a strange trance.
