Brief Encounter Chapter 31
I carefully folded my things and placed them in my suitcase. I can’t believe I was going back so soon. I closed the drawer shut, making a loud thud.
Shane: What’s going on?
Bette: Oh I’m sorry did I wake you? I was going to wake you when I’m done packing and we could grab breakfast or order room service or something.
Shane looked at me confused.
Bette: I got a call from the gallery so very early this morning there are some problems with the exhibit. So I have to fly home today.
Shane: Today? What time is it?
Shane started to sit up.
Bette: It’s ten-ish.
Shane: Oh ok. What time do you fly?
She grabbed the room service menu and rubbed her eyes trying to focus.
Bette: Three
Shane: oh ok so shall I just order something then? (Shane laughed) My head hurts. How much did we have to drink last night?
I pointed at the coffee table where two empty bottles of vodka lay. Surprisingly I’m doing good this morning considering what I had to drink last night.
Shane: Oh yeah right. Hehe. Are you ok?
Bette: Yeah I’m ok I’m just worried about the gallery. It opens next week so this could set the whole opening…
Shane: What should we order? (looking up from the menu)
Bette: Well, well, you don’t let a woman finish their sentence now do ya?
Shane: Haha I’m sorry. Please continue… I thought I’d order soon so we can have time to talk before you leave.
Bette: It’s ok. Just order some pancakes or something I’m not that hungry.
Shane: Ok I’ll get right to it.
I went back to packing, folding my clothes into my suitcase.
Shane: Bette, does Kit know you’re going back today?
Bette: (Yelling from the other room) Yeah I called her this morning. She’ll meet us at the airport if she can. But she said she may not make it cos she has a lot of work at The Planet, it’s fine cos I’ll see her next week in New York anyways.
Shane: Oh right ok. What about Tina? Does she know you’re going back today?
Bette: No, I, she doesn’t. But it’s ok cos everyone will be in New York next week right? So it’s fine.

they are totally behaving like two stubborn kids who won’t admit their feelings and won’t explain anything…i’m afraid Tina will refuse to go to NY because of Mel and for Bette it would be another confirmation that Tina doesn’t want her…drama, drama
I agree with Bettyvhall and betteandtinaforever, these two need to grow up. and as I said before, i have to go back and reread the whole mel thing, but tina is right, Bette needs to clean that up…as usual, I take Tina’s side. Thanks for posting…yeah….I still have another chapter to go before i catch up.
THEY NEED TO TALK AND WORK THING OUT!
I get so upset with those two. It like haveing two spoiled,stubborn children. Bette should have had the guts to speak to Tina and tell her that she was leaving. Now Tina might not go to NY.Yes been commenting since the beginning,sometime couldn’t comment but could read. Trying to make time again to read all and comment to all. Sometimes here lately didnt like the chapter but would read and not comment. Just not fair to the writer.If you can only say I read it thanks.. Off the bandwagon. thanks for posting.
hmmm…i’m going to have to go backwards obviously, like it, thx;pps
I finally caught up with the whole story. I too am very frustrated with these 2. Bette needs to just talk, and Tina should just ask Bette outright. Love the story though.
