“What? Are you serious,” Bette asked leaning forward, with a smile.

“Yeah, Marina has agreed to selling and as of next Monday I will be the new owner of The Planet!”

“My God! That’s so great,” Bette exclaims and hugs Kit.

“Wait! What’s happening with Marina? Is she leaving? Where’s she going,” Jenny asks panicked.

“Um, well, I don’t know. She just approached me and asked if I wanted to buy this place. I didn’t ask any questions. I had my lawyer look over it and she says it’s a good deal.”

“I’ve got to go,” Jenny says and gets up.

“Hey will you be at Rain tonight? Carmen’s spinning,” Shane asks.

“Yeah yeah, I’ll see you at the house,” Jenny says and hurries out the door.

“Alright Bette, now tell me you think there’s nothing going on between those two,” Alice says with a smirk and Bette stares at the door with a worried look.

Jenny hops into her car and frantically dials Marina’s number. No answer. She races over to her house and finds her car in the driveway. She runs up to Marina’s door and knocks. Impatiently she knocks at the door again, her knocks becoming more rapid. Finally, the door opens.

“Oh Jenny,” Marina says, then smiles lustfully, “come in.”

“Where are you going,” Jenny asks, standing in the doorway, not moving.

“Whatever do you mean?”

“Don’t toy with me. I know you’ve sold The Planet to Kit. Where, are you going,” Jenny asks more sternly. Marina winces at her tone.

“Jenny, come inside, sit and we’ll talk,” Jenny’s stern demeanor starts to weaken, “Please Jenny.”

Jenny walks into Marina’s house. It’s elegantly decorated with expensive furniture, sculptures, and art. Uncomfortably, Jenny sits on the couch in the sitting room, while Marina walks into the kitchen. She returns shortly with two glasses of wine. Marina hands a glass to Jenny and sits on the ottoman directly in front of her. Awkwardly, Jenny sips her wine and waits for Marina to explain herself.

“I’m not going anywhere, I’m simply making a career change.”

“What kind of career change?”

“I’m going into the film business with an old friend I made at Oxford. We’re both going to be funding select independent films.”
