    Chapter 12

    “Well I don’t think my Mom’s work is going to generate that kind of attention.”

    “Thank goodness. I don’t think I could go through anything like that again, but I think your mother’s work is going to be bigger than Provocations in many ways and will definitely attract a broader audience.”

    “She’s trying not to show it but she’s scared to death about going public again.”

    “I sensed that. It’s why I’m here Alyson. I want her to be very comfortable that she’s making the right decision. I need her to trust me.”

    “I think she trusts you already. I know I do.”

    “Thank you Alyson.”

    Alyson showed Bette to her room then met her 15 minutes later at the top of the stairs to guide her out to the patio. Allyn had already been served and Maria was preparing plates of food for Bette and Alyson. She wouldn’t listen to Bette’s protest that she only wanted coffee. Maria set the plate in front of Bette and stood at the table until Bette picked up her fork. It was only after Bette started eating that Maria left satisfied that she’d gotten her way.

    “Bette, are you sure the CAC wants to invest the time and expense to do this?”

    “Allyn the board has already approved it. We have the funding lined up. All I had to do was mention Tet Offensive and it was unanimously agreed upon.”

    “Everyone remembers Tet Offensive but how do you propose to show the work I’ve done since? I stopped showing in galleries some twenty years ago.”

    “You don’t have to worry about that. We’ll dedicate all three wings of the CAC if needed in order to give the proper reverence to your work.”

    “Mother believe me they have the space. I’m sure Bette is going to do a fabulous job with it.”

    “Thank you Alyson. I am pleased that you’ve seen the new CAC because you can give your perspective as a curator. I’m sure you have some ideas. I’d love to consult with you if you don’t mind?”

    “I’d love to be involved Bette but I don’t want to interfere.”

    “You wouldn’t be interfering. Believe me I’d welcome the help. As I see it our biggest challenge is trying to figure out how to bring back the earth works in Humbolt County. I mean Season in Hell is one of the most magnificent pieces of art made in the past 20 years and it was destroyed due to clear-cutting.”

    1. Great job BAT, helena is such a bitch and I’m happy that you did not try to make her a nic e person, she needs to have her face kicked in and hopefully Bette will be up to the task. I could never stand her on the show, such an evil bitch. As much as I care àbout Tina she has really disappointed me in this story and I almost feel sorry for her, almost. Since Tina is with henry maybe helena will not be able to get her nasty hooks into her. Thanks for posting. Have a great week.

    2. Hey Bat, this chapter was really amazing, I like so much the change in Bette’s mood, though I know, the pain is still under her skin, I was wondering about the sexual orientation of Allyson, thinking on a possible affair with Bette, but for me, Bette definitely have to change her ways. I guess Helena will approach Tina, and will make (or try at least) her to come back from hetero-Ville, as we know Tina is attracted to women “even though you are the only woman I have ever been with I’m also attracted to women” as she said in the former chapter, and we know it is not about sex but the emotional connection as you said in chapter 9, I don’t know if Tina will find that with Henry (I doubt it, for me disgusting), and she still doesn’t get her answers; but Helena being the bitch that she is, may want to go after Tina, to show Bette, that she could achieve what the director of the CAC couldn’t. I really going to miss your daily updates, thank so much for this story, I’ll be waiting for the next one as everybody else; have a good trip.
