“Well I should be getting back I’m meant to be in a meeting”. Bette says and turns to leave.

“You shouldn’t have come if you were busy I’m not that important”. Tina says to her.

“But you are that important and more Miss Kennard”. And Bette leaves the office and leaves Tina standing there with the biggest smile on her face.

Tina is on high for the rest of the day, it’s a big change to how she felt when she woke up.

That night Tina is at home she’s in the kitchen putting some groceries away when there’s a knock at the door.

“One minute”, she shouts. She makes her way to the door opens it, she freezes when she sees the face staring back at her.

“Can I come in please?”

“Erm,” Tina’s still a little shocked. “Yeah sure, Clare isn’t it”.

“Yeah it is.” She says. “Look, I’m not here to fight with you Tina I just want to talk I need to talk to someone and you’re the only one who knows what I’m going through.” She says tears are streaming down her face. Tina does the only thing she can think of and takes Clare in to a tight embrace.

“Shhh, everything’s gonna be ok.”

“How’s everything gonna be ok, I’m due to have my baby in 4 days time and I just found out that our whole relationship has to be big fucking lie.”

“it’s not going to be easy that much I know, and if it’ll help I am really sorry for any pain your going through.. But I do want you to know that I wouldn’t have ever got involved with Eric if I knew that he had a girlfriend I’m not that type of girl. Really.” Tina says, now there are tears streaming down her face. She is feeling sorry and guilty for all the shit that Eric’s done to this woman. She feels pissed off that she is apologising for something which had no control over it’s Eric who’s fucked up not her.

“Tina you have nothing to apologise for, it’s not your fault he’s a sly bastard that can fool two women for the best part of 3 years. So you stop apologising for that asshole, we have to stick together in times like these.” Clare says trying her best to sound strong, but it doesn’t fool Tina she sees straight through it because she knows that’s how she’d act if she was in her situation.
