Just
flicker the light three times and have the rest of the volunteers politely let
the crowd know that the exhibition is running till the 24^th.
Camilla instructed Tina.

Tina did
what was suggested. Still they had to wait for another hour for everyone to
finally leave so the volunteers can wrap up. By the time she finished
everything, she looked for Bette but she couldnt find her. Ah well, she goes to SFU, maybe Ill just
bump into her one day or at the poetry night. She thought albeit her
disappointment. She brought the volunteer box to the storage room to drop it
off and pick up her stuff then head home.

Oh youre
still here. I thought you had gone home. Tina was pleasantly surprised to find
her newfound poetry night buddy to be in the storage room.

Yeah, I
still owe you my phone number that is if youre still interested to go to the
poetry night with me. Bette pulled out her business card and hand it over to
Tina.

Tina
smiled. Sure, I am. She noticed the card design to be stylish yet simple,
which reflects Bette. She picked up her stuff and after handing the storage
room key over to the information desk, she walked with Bette towards the main
door.

How are
you going home? Bette asked.

I am
walking to Granville skytrain station and then Ill hop on the skytrain.

Cmon,
Ill give you a ride.

You dont
have to, I can walk. Tina hesitated.

Its not
too out of the way for me. Besides, you looked tired and you could use a break.
You did a good job tonight. Bette insisted.

Okay.
Tina followed Bette to the parking lot. Bette stopped in front of 1992 black
Honda Prelude. Tina heard the lock opened and got into the car.

Morcheebas
Big Calm is playing softly in the background. Tina was looking out the window
into the citys night skyline.

What
brought you here? Tina randomly started a conversation.

I just
decided that it was time for a change. I just got out of a one-year
relationship when we finally decided that were better as friends. So, I felt
that I just needed to get out of there and start somewhere new. That place is
too full of memories. Bette said flatly while keeping her eyes fixed on the
road.
