Chance meeting
“Oh no I couldn’t do that. I wouldn’t want to intrude in her home. We can schedule an appointment for me to come by her studio at another time.”
“Actually her studio is in the garage next to the house. You could see the rest of her work right now. Besides she’s really excited to talk to you.”
Normally Bette wouldn’t even consider it but after giving it some thought and sensing that Tina was being sincere she agreed.
“OK fine. If you’re sure it’s not too much trouble.”
“It’s no trouble at all. The only thing is that she was my ride but with the traffic she’s just going to head back home. I need to call a friend to see if he can come get this stuff loaded in his truck. If we’re not being too imposing she also asked if you wouldn’t mind helping me pack it up. Eric drives a bit recklessly and he’s too impatient to secure everything so it doesn’t get damaged.”
“Eric?”
“Eric’s the friend I need to call.”
“Listen Tina I’m happy to help. I wouldn’t want any of the pieces to get damaged especially if we do a show. Since I’ll be heading over to Valerie’s anyway why don’t I just give you a ride? I have an SUV and the cargo area is outfitted to safely pack the canvases. You wouldn’t need to bother your friend Eric. I mean if you’re comfortable riding with me that is?”
Tina wasn’t in the habit of taking rides from strangers but she felt she could trust Bette and besides she wasn’t sure if Eric was even available to come get her. They hadn’t made plans to see each other that night so he might be out.
“Sure that would be great. It’ll save us a lot of time.”
“Then it’s settled. Where does she live?”
“We share a house in Santa Monica. Let me just tell Val what we’re doing …”
Tina put the phone back to her ear and spoke into the receiver.
“Hey Val. Bette and I will handle getting everything packed up. She’s agreed to come to dinner. She has an SUV so I don’t need to call Eric. She’s going to give me a ride home and bring your stuff. We’ll see you at the house.”

What a wonderful chapter! I am interested in discovering if Bette’s psyche has healed from the attack. I guess more will be revealed as she grows closer to Tina and Valerie.
Nice chapter!..Love that Bette has now met Tina and Valerie and she has people to confide in since it seems she has no one close to her around right now
Great update.
Great story and writing
I totally agree with you! I couldn’t have a better adjective to use Bette’s conduct when she was with Jodie as humble. and it was very sad thing.
It was a very nice chapter. I’m glad that Bette met Tina and Valerie. I hope this friendship will help to overcome Bette’s pain.
I look forward to the next chapter.
Great, a nice Chapter and the beginnings of an interesting storyline.
I accept what you say in your Author’s notes but the last Chapter was too upsetting for me.
I, too hated Jodie in the show and did not like the way Ilene wrote Bette’s character around that relationship. It did not ring true and I didn’t believe Bette would have taken the time she did to split from Jodie nor that she would have taken the Hammer exhibition fiasco lying down.
Loved the update and glad Bette has new friends. Thanks
Great update!
