So here she was, at the side of a road on a slippery, snowy mountain with freezing temperatures and no Alice answering the phone. For a moment she kept sitting quietly in the back of the cab, being a bit overwhelmed by this event. And while she sat there, a crazy thought came up in her mind. What if Alice was not expecting her or didn’t want her to come any more. It was a few weeks ago since she was invited and since than she only had one time email contact with Alice. In this email they had swapped some useful information about the trip nothing more personal things so maybe Alice had thought that she had been too impulsive and forgot about her. Also another thought came into her mind; she had never asked Alice if Bette would be present at this party. Because if she was, she would not be amused to see her, to say the least. But no, that couldn’t be, Alice would not be so stupid to invite her if she knew Bette would be there. Before she had time to think any further about this idea, the cab driver turned around to ask if she was okay. So she had put her thoughts away and focused on what he had to say.

The cab driver had been on the phone again to ask for an estimate amount of time that they had to wait, and the news was not very positive. Because of the bad weather and the amount of snow that was falling, the situation was too bad for the towing service. They had been in contact with the road sweepers and they would come to help them but this could take a few hours as they were busy clearing the roads in Vancouver. The situation was not desperate but it meant that his client would be arriving pretty late and that he would have to let the engine running to keep the heating of car working.

Luckily for him, his client was not difficult and let the news calmly sink in as there was no other option, she phoned again to Alice’s cell phone but again nobody answered. Her mind drifted off to the subject of her biggest fear; what if Bette was there. This brought a big red glow on her face, a flustering feeling came over her. It had been a long time since she had seen her, about two years. And she never heard anything of her, as a matter of fact she was convinced that Bette had moved to Europe. That was the rumor she had picked up on the scene, before she had withdrawn herself from it, because she thought she didn’t really belong to be around the girls and the Lesbian scene of LA. After that decision she moved to a quiet area on the east side of LA. Now that her mind had drifted of in the past, she couldn’t stop, her mind went back even further, to the time that she was part of the Lesbian scene and the gang, even when it was only for a short time, but now that she thought of it, this time was one of the best times of her life.
