Bette hadn’t seen or been with any one since Tina. She didn’t really feel like it. She just worked like mad and even Lara was starting to worry about her. But her calls with Tina always put a smile on her face and Lara could tell.

Tina had moved to Italy together with Charlott and Maria, but only for a trial period. She wantet to see if Charlott was okey with the move before giving up her home in the States.

In the beginning Tina was feeling alone – she was missing Bette, but knew she had to giver her space to find herself. After a while Tina and Bette startet talking on the phone – now they call each other a couple of times each week. Tina was glad about the arrangement – it made her hear Bette’s voice. She could always tell wich mood Bette was in when they talk, but Bette always took time out ouf her busy schedule to let Tina know she was there for her.

In the beginning it was hard for both of them, but with time they got better at talking. Now it is like they have know each other forever and the conversation moved on.

Bette had just come out from a session with Carmen, she pured herself a cup of coffee, looking at pictures of the lates victim from the serial killer case, when her cell startet ringing. “Bette Porter”

“Hey Bette, how’s it hanging…………..what are you doing this Friday?” Alice said with a huge smile on her face. “Hey Al….not much – what do you have in mind?”

“Oh nothing………..Dana is in town this week, me and Shane are going to Milk with her – do you wanna join us?………..you can bring Lara”, Alice joked “or that little hot Carmen for Shane” “I’ll ask them both and I guess you are right – we do need a break”, Bette answered.

As Bette was on the phone with Alice, she could hear another call on the line. “Al – I have another call on the line………..can I ring you back later?” “Sure, no problem Porter – say hallo to Tina for me”, Alice smiled. “I don’t know if it is her Al – so give me a break”, Bette said, but she was hoping it was Tina. “Bye Al…”
