Bette: T, you look amazing and you’ll wow them on the carpet. I’m so proud of you.

They lean in for a light brief kiss. They each do a final make up check and are ready.

Driver: Ladies we’ve arrived. Shall I open your door now?

Tina: We’re ready.

Bette reaches over for Tina’s hand and gives her a reassuring squeeze. The Driver helps Tina out of the car and does the same for Bette. Once they are both out of the car Tina reaches for Bette’s hand and they proceed up the red carpet. Tina dazzles the photographers and reporters as she does indeed easily slip into her Hollywood executive role with ease. She introduces Bette as her partner when asked and doesn’t skip a beat getting back to the film and Shaloin as an up and coming small studio. Once inside they head over to the VIP reception. Thankfully the girls are there, except for Alice who is working the red carpet and other areas of the event.

Bette: T, I’m going to join the girls while you go conquer the world.

With a light squeeze of the hand and kiss to her temple Bette is gone and Tina finds Helena and together the studio executives work the room.

Bette and Tina are reunited for the actual screening and they watch the movie again and nervously anticipate the crowd’s reaction at certain stages of the film. They are generally pleased with timely outbursts of laughter and even notice a few tears as this is a romantic comedy. The Marketing team had done a great job with the goody bags and all guests received a bag of treats upon exiting the theater. The girls pile into the two executive limos and are off to the post premier party.

Bette: I’d like to propose a toast to my baby, T and her team at Shaloin. You rock baby and that film is the first of many great projects from you and Helena.

Shane: Here, here.

They all sip; Bette and Tina share a much more intimate kiss and the party gets an early start in the limo. They arrive at the party location and find that by now Kit and Jean have arrived as well as Helena with Alice and Tasha.
