"I cannot believe I drove four hours for this!" Joyce seethed throwing her hands in the air.

"I can’t believe we have the same lawyer," Bette said looking at Tina who nodded in agreement.

"You’re lucky you have the same lawyer!" Joyce spat, "and you’re lucky I thought of some way to save your ass on the car ride! And you’re lucky my wife, Phyllis, makes some really strong coffee and is good in the sack if not you’d be dealing with a very angry Joyce!"

"You’re not angry now?" Tina muttered sarcastically and Bette chuckled softly.

Joyce glared at them and cocked an eyebrow as they laughed. "You think this is funny?" Joyce said.

"No," Bette said straightening up.

"Sorry," Tina said controlling her laughter.

"Okay, here’s the deal," Joyce said sitting down on a chair across from Bette and Tina who were sitting on the bed. "You guys met 6 months ago when Tina went to Bette’s gallery after a fight with Eric. No one needs to know you stayed at my guest house for two weeks, instead Bette offered you her own house. Natalie was out of town at that time so it checks out."

"So in those two weeks we fell in love?" Bette asked.

"Exactly," Joyce said with a smile, "that’s why Tina filed for divorce when she got home, and why Bette broke up with Natalie when she got back."

"Wow, the timing couldn’t be more perfect!" Tina said with a smile.

"Yes it took me a while to figure this out," Joyce said, "now you’re gonna buy your hungry lawyer some breakfast and I will tell you what to do from here."

 Bette and Tina laughed and stood up. They walked out of Tina’s hotel room downstairs to the restaurant.

"How could you afford the Venetian, T?" Bette asked looking up at the ceiling that was painted like the sky. It was so realistic Bette was in a daze.

"T?" Tina laughed.

"Oh sorry," Bette said breaking out of her trance.

"No, I like it," Tina said with a small smile.

"That’s good! That’s very good," Joyce said, "nicknames are really good."

"Anyways," Tina said, "I can’t afford the Venetian, my friend Helena likes to pay for everything. She paid for her room that she shares with her girlfriend, Dylan. And then she paid for my own room and Jenny’s room."
