The dinner was great. The group of women had incredible fun. Talking and laughing, telling stories from the past. It was time Bette to make the announcement. She cleared her throat, and stood up.

“Ladies, can I have your attention, please” Bette began.

“What are up Porter, are you two getting married again?” Alice asked, and the girls laugh

“Unfortunately not, umm…I got a call yesterday, and they offered me a job…”

“What job, where..?” Alice asked again, Bette shot her a look

“It was Franklin, from the CAC; he offered me a vice president’s place”. The room was quiet, enough to be heard the traffic outside. Bette felt uneasy; Tina placed her hand over hers, and said

“We are moving into the suburbs. Isn’t too far away from here!”

“But still…” Alice bends her head down

“Hey, hey don’t all be cast down. The neighborhood’s good, the house would be big enough, so you can stay whenever you like, beside we’re having a pool!” Bette said, trying the light the mood.

“A pool?! Really, Bette, really!”  Alice hissed, referring to Jenny’s fiasco in their old house.

“Alice…” Shane interrupted her. “We’re happy for you guys, so I guess you’ll need help?”

“Sure” Tina said. She exhaled with relief.

“When you have to go?” Alice asked

“End of the month” Bette answered

  The air was clear again, and the mood was light. The girls promised to visit all the time, beside the Sunday’s brunches in the Planet. The weeks few off, and it was time for the move. The girls were packing, Bette and Tina also.  Like they promised Alice, Shane and Kit were there to help to. Helena was in New York, on business meeting.

Ashley was ready first. She dragged her box to the front door, and Alice loads it in the moving truck outside.”Jezz, Ashley what you put in there, its heave.”

“Toys” Ashley simply said.

“That are allot of toys” Alice replayed

“You have to see Dana’s”

“Oh, boy, Porter wants to kill me, I knew it” Alice mumbled under her nose.

They were ready, all was in the truck. But someone’s missing.

“Hey, where’s the dog…Rex! Come here boy…Rex!” Bette yelled. After few second Rex appeared, holding his bowl in his mouth, waving tail. He put it down and barked. Bette and Tina looked at each other, burst in laugh.
