Hey Shane Bette answers on the first ring. How did it go this morning?
Ah .. Well Bette I was just coming over to the CAC to talk to you about that. Where are you?
Oh Im at my apartment, why dont we meet at the Planet, Im hooking up with Kit. Shes cooking so Ill see you in 15. Bette directs getting the sense that Shane had bad news.
Great and with that Shane hung up.
***
Shane just sat at the table looking at her iced coffee trying to figure out how she could have made things this morning go differently. In some ways she felt that she had let Bette down for not coming through for her. Shane just looks up as Bette walks into the Planet. Bette is dressed in casual Capri pants and blouse, definitely not the power suit that Shane had expected.
What youre not working this afternoon? Shane asks as Bette sits down at the table.
Actually Shane I dont work most afternoons at the CAC anymore. I have taken on a couple of outside projects which allow me the flexibility of not being as formal. Nice isnt it. Bette explains to Shane. Well what happened. You dont look too happy.
Youre right, I tried but Tina really had her sights set on someone not on your list and as much as I tried to get her to move she just sort of made up her own mind. Shane relayed to Bette.
Well that can happen. I mean I just wanted to help her but you know Tina is her own person and as much as I want to do things for her it is ultimately her choice. So who did she choose? Bette asks now really wondering.
Irene OConner Shane blurted out. Not fully believing that Bette was taking this so well.
Really, you know shes not that bad and if Tina really wanted her Im just going to have to accept it. But Shane I just want you to know that I really appreciate you just being there for both Tina and myself today. I mean I am sure just having you there as a sounding board helped Tina tremendously and well frankly it made me feel better too. Thanks Bette says to Shane with total sincerity.
As this makes Shane feel better she looks hard at Bette Are you OK?
Yeah why? Shane just because everything we do doesnt work out doesnt mean we need to get upset. Hey you want to hear something funny? Bette says moving on as she sees Shane accept her answer.
Alice today interviewed my friend Jackie who is in town to run this new foundation. Well instead of really asking her any questions about the foundation and its purpose, Alice spends the whole time trying to figure out if there is something going on between her and I. I guess she was so obvious that Jackie was beginning to throw out things about the foundation that totally slips by Alice. Isnt that hysterical? Bette asks laughing now hard.
