“Oh my god Al, for real?”

“Yeah Shane, for real”

“When does her plane land?”

“About 10 but it’s running late, I’m picking her up and then we’ll drop
her stuff at the hotel and just see what she wants to do but I bet
Bette will wanna come see you, Bet, Bette” Shane heard a slight murmur
of laughter come from Alice “Anyway I gotta go before my toast catches
fire, bye”

“Bye Al”

Shane put down the phone and rolled onto her back to
stare up at the ceiling. She couldn’t believe it, Bette was coming back
after 13 years. She had hardly heard a word from her but didn’t take it
personally. She knew that Bette had to cut all ties from her old life
in LA, it hurt to much to have constant reminders, which was why she
moved to New York when she knew she would never be able to save her and
Tina’s relationship.

“Baby who was that?” came the sleepy voice of the woman
in bed next to Shane. Shane turned around so she was on her side facing
the bronze skinned beauty and placed a soft kiss on her loves cheek.

“It was Al, you’ll never guess what she told me”

“Well you better tell me then” a small smile shaping her lips.

“Bette has finally decided to come visit”

“Whoa, that’s awesome, when?”

“She’ll be here in a few hours”
