They spent the afternoon sipping champagne, (orange juice for Kit) and celebrating. Kit was the first to leave.
Kit: “ Sorry to cut the party short ladies, but I gotta get back to the Planet. There’s so much to sort out. I’ll call you tomorrow Tina, and we’ll start going over the details”

Shane: “Hey Bette, we’re going to carry this on at Milk, you coming?”
Bette: “I might come later Shane, I’ll help Tina pack up first”
Shane: “ Sure sea’s you later”
Dana and Alice: “Bye Ladies”

Bette turned to Tina: Coffee?”
Tina: “ Yes please, after all that champagne I think I need it”
Tina sat on the couch whilst Bette went to the kitchen to make the coffee.
Bette came back with the drinks, and joined Tina on the couch.
Tina: “ I was just admiring your art, are you a collector?”
Bette: “yes, and I am also the curator at the CAC.”
Tina: “ Really, that could come in handy”
Bette: “Yes?”
Tina: “Well I need some tips for the Planet”
Bette: “sure no problem”

They sat in silence for a few moments, then they both started to speak at once.
Tina: “I’m sorry please”
Bette: “I was just going to ask if you would like to have dinner with me one evening this week?”
Tina: “Like a date you mean?” smiling.
Bette smiled back:” yes like a date”
Tina: “I would love to Bette, But…..”
Bette: “ But..?”
Tina: 2 I don’t mix business with pleasure, and I’ll be working for your sister.”
Bette: “ Hey it’s ok” she started to rise, Tina stopped her, putting her hand on Bette’s knee. Tina’s heart was pounding so hard she thought it was going to explode from her chest.
Tina: “ But once the project is finished, I would really like to have dinner with you Bette. Can you wait?”
Bette: “ Sure I can wait” smiling that winning smile.
Tina: “ Hey, we’ll be seeing a lot of each other I imagine, so we can at least get to know each other, as friends”
Bette: “ I would really like that!”

They finished their coffee’s, Bette helped Tina pack up her equipment and saw her to her car.
Tina: “ So I’ll see you soon?”
Bette:” I’ll see you soon”
Bette leaned in and kissed Tina on the cheek.
She waved Tina off, and went back inside.
Bette: (I need to take a shower, a cold one)
