She missed Bette sometimes. When her sister died a few years ago, Leo had tried to comfort her but everything he said, made Tina angrier than she already was. She knew that Bette would know the right things to say. She would know how to make her feel a little better.

Leo was a good man but he just didn’t have a spine, he wasn’t passionate. He would just… go with the flow. He had a new woman now, 9 years younger than Tina; she was 32 and had a daughter. Both were total bitches. Tina couldn’t stand them but she tried to stay civil for the sake of the kids, they would only suffer if there was trouble between them. Tina sighed. Her life was hectic right now.

She was head of development at Alpha Ville, she worked there again, she had two teenagers at home, an ex-husband and his girlfriend that were really irritating, her friends’ kids that saw this house as their own and were constantly there. Tina took a deep breath. She needed a break from this… She needed to relax but she couldn’t leave the kids here, Leo would never want to have the children for a week or two, he was too busy impressing Brandi and her daughter Sophia-Leigh to want to keep the kids for that amount of time. Besides, right now, there was no time to go away but maybe at the end of this school year, when the kids had summer break they could go travel. It was still 8 months but at least she had something to look forward too. She took her laptop and began searching for a nice destination.

Paris – 11AM

The door swung open and Vivienne leaned against the doorframe, smiling brightly.

Vivienne: Bonjour, Mon amour.

Bette smiled back.

Bette: Bonjour, ma chérie.

Vivienne walked further into Bette’s office, closing the door wanting give her partner a kiss on the lips.

B: Have you brought Yves to school? Is he all right?

V: Oui, ne vous inquiétez pas. How is everything going here?

B: Normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

V: Bien, I’m going to go to my brother so I won’t be around today but I’ll be home for dinner. Will you be able to pick up Yves from school?

B: Okay, that’s fine.

Vivienne gave Bette a kiss that makes Bette happy she is sitting down, her knees go weak. Vivienne pulls back and looks at Bette

V: Then I’ll go now. (Begins to walk out of the office and when she reaches the door she looks over her shoulder and says) Je t’aime.

Bette looks up and smiles at her wife: Je t’aime aussi.

Vivienne turns around and walks out of the office. Bette smiles a small smile before looking back at her papers.
