Shane walked into the house and closed the door. She walked through the house and walked to her room. She opened her door and saw Carmen lying on the bed. She had her eyes close with her iPod in her hand. Shane sighed and took off her jacket. She walked over to her closet and hung it up. She kicked off her shoes and turned around. She looked and saw Carmen looking at her. Carmen started to get off the bed and walked over to the door. She walked out the room and slammed the door.

            Bette was sitting at the head of the table. She was chewing on the cap of her pen. She couldnt stop thinking about Helena. She wanted to be in her arms. Nicholas looked up at Bette.

Bette, would you like to contribute? Bette was still staring out in space. Bette? Bette snapped out of her zone and saw everybody staring at her.

Im sorry, what did you say Nicholas? James shook his head. Nicholas laughed it off.

Would you like to contribute? Bette took the pen out of her mouth and sat up in her chair.

Im glad to that you chose the Melvin Porter Gallery as your choice Miss Rose. I hope that youre comfortable with our set up. Sierra smiled at Bette.

Thank you, I really appreciate the hospitality.  I hope to be coming back again for another retrospective. Bette smiled and nodded her head. She got up from her chair and shook Sierras hand.

Thank you, and since everything is taken care off. Meeting is adjourned. Everybody began to stand up and shook each other hands. Bette sighed and started to walk out of the boardroom. She raked her fingers through her hair. James ran up to her and handed her a folder.

Bette, you forgetting something. Bette laughed softly.

Thank you James. She continued to walk.  Its been a long night. Its time to go home. Ill see you later tomorrow James.

Bye Bette. James took off the other way. Bette walked up to her office and grabbed her purse. She swung her keys in her hand as she walked back down the steps. She walked out the door and got to her car. She got in and grabbed her phone. She dialed Helenas number as she pulled out of the parking lot.
