“Crazy? No, I wouldn’t say that at all. Sounded very romantic to me. So, when did Bette decide she wanted to go on a vacation?” Kit asked.

“She just asked me the other night, what I thought about the two of us going away”.

“And you said”? Tina looked at Kit with an unsure look.

“I told her I wanted us to get away. But I didn’t think she meant Italy”.

” Oh, I see, said Kit. “Well, doesn’t she have the exhibit opening up this week”?

” Yeah, she does”, Tina said. “I guess she’s planning to take some time off afterwards. I didn’t give her time to say much about anything really”, Tina said, looking disapointed in herself. “I kind of dismissed the idea quickly when she said Italy. The thought of leaving Angelica and going that far doesn’t set well with me”, Tina explained.

“Well, can I put my two cents in”? Kit asked.

“Sure, by all means”, Tina replied.

“I think it would be good for you and Bette to get away together. How long has it been since either of you took some leisure time”?

“God”, Tina said, “I couldn’t tell you when”.

” Well, there you have it. If it’s been so long you can’t even remember, then it’s due time”.

“Maybe your right, Kit”, Tina said.

“I think so”, she said. “You know”, Kit looked at Angelica setting in her lap, “if you decide to go, I will stay here with her. Of course, I’ll need a little time to get things in order at the Planet”.

Tina looked at Kit with gratitude. She smiled and said, “You really wouldn’t have a problem staying here with her”?

“Kit took Tina’s hand and said, I’d do anything for you and Bette. Don’t you know that by now”?

Tina leaned over and gave Kit a peck on her cheek. “I love you, Kit. she said.

“Me too, Tina”, Kit replied. They laughed.

Tina then asked, “Kit, was there something you wanted to talk about? I didn’t even give you a chance to say why you stopped by”.
