“So what about you Bette, do you have a boyfriend”. Tina asks Bette.

Bette chokes a little. “My god no, I’m gay, I don’t have a boyfriend or a significant other”. She smiles and winks to Tina.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to offend you”. Tina says feeling a bit stupid.

“Hey that’s ok everyone asks questions sometimes there the right ones other times there not. That’s life”. Bette gave Tina another wink. “So what about you, do you think that you’ll ever get married to Eric”.

“What, erm well he has talked about it but hasn’t come out and asked me”. Tina lets out a little sigh silently think what would she say if he asked her she always wanted to get married but at 24 it’s a bit young.

“I didn’t ask you if he asked you to marry him I asked do you think that you’ll ever get married to him”. Bette seems to getting alittle bit more serious now.

“I dunno maybe if it was 5 years down the line yeah in a heart beat”. Tina answers.

“so he’s not the ONE if he was you wouldn’t have doubts like that”. As Bette finishes her sentence she notices Tina looking at her strangely. “Sorry. I don’t mean to cause any offence it’s my being a lawyer, it comes out like I’m being aggressive, but I’m not”. She reaches and touches Tina’s hand gently.

“no it’s not that it’s just you maybe right but I think with Eric it’s easy, simple, so I probably would marry him if he asked unless..” Tina stops what she’s saying something catches her eye.

Bette turns around in her chair to see where her stare is fixed. “He’s got a girlfriend”. Bette says, but Tina’s not listening. “Hello”. Bette says waving her hand in font of Tina’s face.

“What you know him”. Tina asks trying to sound natural.

“Yeah I went to law school with him he’s been with his girlfriend. That’s her there for just over 3 years”. She says but she notices a change in Tina’s face it’s no longer warm looking it’s cold and angry.

“Excuse me, just one moment will you”. Tina says to Bette.
