"Do you rent to avoid commitment too?"
"I’m not avoiding commitment," Tina replied. "I guess I’ve never met anyone I wanted to live with."
"I’ve never lived with anyone I was involved with either," Bette said. "I like my space. Plus other than the two year relationship, I’m a notorious under achiever when it comes to the duration of my relationships. I’m not well tolerated by others."
"They break up with you?"
"They would say my schedule breaks up with them," Bette said. "I’m told I put my job first; I never give enough time to the relationship; no one counts meeting at Daddy’s diner as a quality time…"
"I love your father’s diner!"
"I know you do."
There was a silence as they both reached to take a sip of wine.
"Let’s get the dishes taken care of and then review tomorrow’s agenda so we can relax with our wine before bedtime," Bette said as she stood.
They sat facing each other on the sofa, wine in hand. Their glasses were approaching empty.
"Work goes by quicker when we do it together," Tina said.
"Never underestimate the power of being highly motivated," Bette said. "We can enjoy our wine, and then I’ll run you a bath before bed. I have everything picked out to assist in helping you relax."
"I can’t remember the last time I had a bath," Tina said.
"All part of the full service package we offer here at Chez Porter Bed and Breakfast."
"You forgot ‘spa, meal delivery and attorney-at-law’," Tina added.
"I do aim to please," Bette said. She drank the last of her wine. "Wait here, I’m going to get your bath started."
"You don’t have to…" Tina started.
Bette held a hand up to halt Tina’s objections.
"Wait here," she repeated. Bette then disappeared down the hall.
Tina finished her wine and started looking through one of the magazines that rested on the table in front of her.
"I’m ready for you," Bette said.
Her voice startled Tina. She hadn’t heard her return.
"You can bring the magazine if you’d like something to read during your bath," Bette said.
