    Author Notes:

    Bette’s coming out.

    She squeezed his gloved hand in hers.

     

    “Do you think the gallery’s open?” she asked.

     

    “Let’s check.”  They walked to the main entrance and Ash pulled on the handle.  The door swung open.  “We lucked out, huh?  We can thaw.”

     

    Bette gravitated to the sculpture of *Undine.*  She sat on the bench in front of the art and lowered the hood of her jacket.  The synthetic fur that had framed her face, now surrounded her neck and as always, Ash was captivated by her model’s face.  But Bette wasn’t looking happy.  Ash removed his gloves, unzipped his jacket and sat beside her.  “You don’t look right.  Are you sick?”

     

    Bette shook her head and stared at the sculpture.  She still found it enchanting.  The nearly nude mermaid was veiled in translucent marble that draped around her body.  How the artist had managed it was beyond Bette’s comprehension.  The look on the mermaid’s face was resigned and sorrowful.  It matched Bette’s. 

     

    Ash, also stared at the sculpture with the eye of someone who appreciated beauty.  If not for the depressing story behind the sculpture of a woman betrayed and then commanded to kill her husband, it would be the perfect spot for his proposal.  As soon as finals ended, he promised himself that he’d walk the gallery’s floors and find something more suitable.

     

    Bette pulled on the fingers of each glove and removed them.  As soon as they were off, Ash took her hand, but Bette slipped out of his touch.  She turned to him, shrugged.  Her eyes filled with tears when she said with a pained frown, “I’m sorry.”

     

    “For what?”

     

    “Ash, I know you’re going to be upset.  I don’t want to make this worse than it already is.  I think…no, I know, I… I – I don’t want to see you any longer.”

     

    Ash blinked.  “Huh?  Cause of your papers?  You know I’ll help you if I can.  What’s the problem?”  He winked at her.  “Writer’s block?”

     

    “No, that’s not what I mean.  I mean, I want to break up.”

     

    “What?” he said, then repeated a bit louder.  “What?”

     

    “I know.  I’m sorry.  I’m so sorry,” she said remorsefully.
