When doesnt Tina look great?

Good point. Bette replied, she paused for a second then continued, Is she happy, Al? I know she wont tell me if she isnt. I just want to make sure.

With a reassuring smile, Alice answered, She is Bette. She has made herself a good life. She loves Cara, she loves her job and she bought a kick ***** loft in So-Ho when she was still in development. She misses her life here, but she made herself one she enjoys.

OK. Thats all I needed to hear. She started to walk again and stopped, Did you say when she was still in development? She doesnt do that anymore?

Ill let her tell you about it. But its a good change Bette. They walked back into the living room. Dana had already gotten Bette a wine glass and she brought in another bottle. Bette sat down next to Shane.

Alice looked over at the crew and shook her head. Dana moved over a bit motioned for her to come sit down on the couch next to her. Alice sat down and Dana put her hand on Alices hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, reassuring it was all ok.

So. Alice said to no one in particular. Shane looked around the room at her friends and a small grin started to grow on her face, Damn, its been too long. She raised her beer in the air, To old friends and family.

Bette and Tina nervously glanced at each other as they raised their glasses in turn. So Bette, tell me about your gallery. I hear its amazing. The girls filled me in on it.

Bettes face lit up as she realized that Tina cared enough to ask the girls over the years how her life was. It felt good to know she wasnt totally forgotten.

Its really great, Tina. Its gotten a lot of exposure and Ive been able to snag some amazing artists for it.

Tina smiled at Bette, Im glad. The CAC stressed you so much. Im happy you have your own place again. You thrived in your own gallery. Its really good to hear.

Thanks, T. Im happy there. I needed the change after all thatwent down at the CAC. It was time for a change. It took a few months to pull together, but once I started, I knew it was going happen and the FLF Gallery opened its doors. I guess its been open four years now.
