    Domino Effect, Chapter 1: Lies

    “What the ***** was that all about?” She asked the empty elevator as it began to
    move, leaving her more than a bit frightened.

    ~*~*~*~*~*

    “Tina!” Oscar smiled broadly when she walked in, stood and
    walked around the desk, arms open for a hug.
    Tina said nothing. His arms dropped to his sides.

    Tina pulled back, handed him an envelope. “My resignation. Effective immediately,” she said in a level voice. No more taking a back seat to her life any
    more, it was time to live.

    His mouth dropped open.
    “What? Tina! No!
    You can’t.” He began, shaking
    his head and slamming his knee into his desk as he scurried around it.

    “I can. And I
    have. I’m sorry, Oscar, but I need to
    move on.” Tina stated, staring him down with cool hazel eyes.

    “But Tina! You.” He
    gestured rapidly, fumbling for words.
    “You’re so important to us. The
    work you’ve done here, it’s miraculous.
    We need you!” He emphasized and
    Tina knew she’d heard the word so many times before–Need. Everyone needed her; what about what SHE
    needed?

    “That’s exactly what Bette said too,” she said coldly,
    closed her eyes, opened them again.
    “I’m sorry, Oscar. But it’s time
    I thought about myself for a change, what I need, what I want.”

    “Tina, please,” Oscar stretched out his arms. “If you need some time to get over this.”

    “Get over it? I’m
    all over it,” she said harshly, finding her tone almost too painful.

    “But this is so sudden.”
    Oscar began, and the laugh that came from Tina cut him off.

    “Yeah,” Tina laughed sarcastically, “life is like that
    sometimes. One minute, it’s all
    good. And the next.” Tina said with venom, snapping her fingers.

    “The kids, Tina!
    Don’t you care about them? They
    need you. They need.”

    “Stuff it, Oscar!
    I’m through feeling guilty about anything in life; it’s not going to
    work. I’m done.” Her voice shook with
    anger. “I’m through putting other
    people’s needs first. I did it for
    seven years. And look what it brought
    me! It’s time I take care of Tina
    Kennard. If I can find her again. She’s
    been molded into something I don’t even recognize anymore.”

    “That’s not fair!”
    Oscar yelled, following her to the door.

    “Damn right, it’s not fair!” She rubbed her forehead.
    “Oscar, I don’t want to fight about this. I’m done. I’m all used
    up. And the only one who’s going to
    fill me back up is me, myself and I.
    Not you, not the kids, not the Center.”
