“Nothing”… This had been Tina’s response to Shane’s question that night. The blonde woman left the bar, without even bother to warn Alice and the others. Leaving the young brunette behind, she just said she needed some time alone, because she wasn’t feeling well. Shane tried more than once to ask her what the problem was, but the producer didn’t want to talk about it. The hair dresser knew that something was going on between her two friends but she didn’t want to make things worse so she just let her go.

It had been a week now, since that night and no one, Bette included, had seen Tina. They usually saw each other when one of them was going to have Angie, given the parental agreements. But in the last week, every time Bette knocked at the door, the nanny was the one who always welcomed her and the baby. The same happened when it was Bette’s time to have Angelica. The nanny was the one to knock at the door. No Tina; it was like she disappeared out of nowhere. Bette tried to ask her where Tina was, but the response was anything but exhaustive. It was like Tina didn’t want to be found. And she was succeeding.

It was a Sunday morning when Bette had been finally able to see her again. And it was the day in which Bette fell her world fall apart…

           «I’m taking a new job position, I have to move from L.A. » the blonde said to a stunned Bette. Both women sitting on the couch, in the living room, at the house that once was their home.

           «Wh- Where? »

           «New York » Tina replied, showing no emotion.

           «But, Tina, what about Angelica? What about our schedules. I’m here in L.A. and- »

           «She’s coming with me, we’ll deal with that when it’s the right time» the blonde cut her off.

           «Are you serious? I mean, you can’t decide to take a job position in New York and take her away from me, that’s not fair Tina. What about: ‘I won’t take her away from you, Bette. I promise’? Well, it seems like you’re doing just that»
