    And it Started with a Phone Call Chapter 5

     

    Can I ask you something? Bette inquired as she reached over and intertwined her fingers with those of Tinas left hand.

     

    Of course, ask me anything.

     

    Why do you live way out here? I mean, it must take you an hour to get to work everyday

     

    An hour on a good day, Tina replied. When I first moved out to California for school, I was living in student housing. When it was time for me to find a real place, a friend of mine from work lived out here and convinced me of the advantages of commuting together. Its a great place to live, but its so far from everything. Thats the only downside.

     

    Have you considered moving closer to civilization? Bette asked.

     

    Ive actually been looking around. My lease is up in a couple of months and the friend that I used to commute with left Alphaville in December after she had a baby, so what brought me out here is no longer a reason to stay.

     

    Bette filed these tidbits of information away for future reference.

     

    This drive isnt so bad on a Saturday, but stop and go traffic must get aggravating, Bette wondered aloud.

     

    As I said, Im lucky if I get to work in an hour, Tina replied. Everyone is driving from the suburbs into the city at the time I go; sometimes I take the Pacific Coast Highway instead, just to have the scenery during the drive. It takes a little longer, but the trip is more interesting.

     

    I love driving along the coast, Bette sighed. It doesnt seem like I do it very often anymore though. I let myself get so tied up with work.

     

    Its good that you love your job though, Tina replied. Your gallery is amazing.

     

    Bette never tired of hearing praise for the gallery she had spent the last three years building a reputation for.

     

    I might have to go in for an hour or two this weekend, but Ill try to do it after I drop you off tomorrow night.

     

    Id love to go in with you if you need to spend some time there, Tina offered. I mean, if thats okayI could look at the exhibits while you get your work done.
