‘Or, no, not her as such, just . . . not all that intensity,’ she said, her eyes fixed on the road.
A minute passed. She knew she’d have to go back for the phone.
Another minute. Her eyes began to sparkle as she followed the logic of the situation.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. What was that movie where the kid takes a day off school? Tina would know.
‘Yeah,’ she said softly, as she snapped on the blinker to leave the highway and take Western Avenue towards Hollywood. ‘Tina would know.’
***
‘She’s not in the office today.’
The latest receptionist was an androgynous, very young-looking Asian American with stern black-rimmed glasses and a ruby-red nose stud. Their shirt one that Bette had considered buying herself just the other week, from Emerge in Colour.
‘Not in or “not in”?’ Bette asked, with audible quote-marks.
‘Not in,’ the receptionist deadpanned.
‘Oh, okay, well tell her it’s Bette.’
‘I’m afraid I can’t do that.’
‘Why not?’
‘Because she’s not in.’
Bette stared. ‘Are you saying she’s not in?’
‘Yes.’
‘Right. But is she?’
No reaction.
‘Or is she?’
No reaction.
‘You do know I’m her ex-wife?’
The receptionist folded their arms.
‘Well, I am,’ Bette continued, ‘and we have a child together, so you better believe that if I was here concerning a matter of life and death, I’m sure she would want to know.’
‘Are you?’
‘What?’
‘Here concerning a matter of life and death?’
‘Well, no, but—’
‘No, because you’d just call her. If you were who you say you are.’
Bette counted to five silently, then said, super-nicely, ‘I am who I say I am, but I forgot to pick up my phone when I left the house this morning.’
The receptionist’s eyes twinkled with amusement.
‘Look, just blink once if she’s in.’ There was no blink. ‘So she’s really not in?’
The receptionist held up their palms.
‘Well, that’s just fuckin great,’ Bette muttered, then sighed and checked her watch. She still had four hours on her parking. ‘When’s she gonna be back?’
‘I can’t give out that information.’
Bette rolled her eyes, then got a small box of mints from her bag. ‘Y’know, you wanna watch your attitude,’ she said as she tapped one into the palm of her hand.

Hey Friend,
Had to check this out ASAP!!!!
You leave us wanting for MORE!!!!!! AND RIGHT NOW!!!!
But you are killing me with PP! Glad Bette is finally seeing her true self & not loving what she sees.
And Tina – what the he’ll!!!!! ?????!!!!!!
Ok, I get that the road won’t be EASY in your story too, BUT you do keep hope alive!!!
Hopefully TK broke up with C & it’s DONE. No need for any further appearance of that witch.
Ok, so Bette’s revealed herse6, what oh what will TK do?????
Loved Bette’s little revelations of her feelings & her undying love for Tina.
So now TK, follow it up with some home truths of your own.
Great chapter update & waiting impatiently for the next update.
Thanks so much.
And yes, it has been a fantastic Tibette week!!! Totally happening!!!
Hey pal o mine!
Thanks for reading this and commenting. Really appreciate it. :-) I feel like I owe you an apology in advance for how long it’s taking to dispatch PP….
It’s fun seeing you on Twitter too.
More soon, but meanwhile hope you’re getting your own story done. I am still reading!

Hey lady,
Will always read whatever you post – you know you have my support & Tibette heart!!!!
Yes, please get PP gone like yesterday! Thanks for taking care of C quickly. See ya – NEVER!!!
Just started with the Twitter thing – it’s still a bit sporadic for me as I learn more about it. Funny though to read some of the crazy TLW comments.
Yes, I had hoped to get the next chapter of DOH poisted before I left on my east coast vaca/ family reunion, but it didn’t happen, I ran out of time.
May have a bit oif time later this week to post an update. Will bge surrounded by enthusiastic bunch of kids & adult kids carving pumpkins – I’ll watch from afar & get the update posted!!!
Stay well & keep dreaming Tibette is Endgame!!!
Interesting. Of course i’m not sure where you’re leading this story, but still waiting for more.
Thanks.
